Preparation

Heat 1 tsp. of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bananas, onions, and garlic; cook 5 min. or until the plantains are golden brown, stirring frequently. Let them cool a bit. Add the cheese and half the cilantro.

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the banana mixture into the center of each disk; moisten the edges with water. Fold discs in half to wrap filling; squeeze them slightly at the top to remove air pockets. Seal the edges with a fork.

Heat the rest of the oil in a medium-sized deep skillet. Add 4 empanadas; cook 4 to 5 min. or until golden brown on both sides and without stopping to turn after 3 min. Drain them on paper towels. Repeat the procedure with the other patties. Let them cool.

Mix the peanut butter, mayonnaise, juice, chiles, and the rest of the cilantro well. Serve the empanadas with this sauce.
