Puerto Rican Stuffed Sweet Plantains aka Canoes || Canoas de Plátanos Maduros Boricua || SO CHEESY

Puerto Rican stuffed sweet plantains is a classic Puerto Rican dish that will blow your socks off. If you’re a sucker for sweet and salty dishes then this recipe is going to be your new jam! The beef picadillo I used to stuff the plantains is seasoned to PERFECTION and is infinitely versatile. It can be made with ground turkey, chicken, pork, heck even lentils if ur a vegetarian. You can stuff it in the sweet plantains here like I did, but you can all use it to stuff tostones cups, empanadas, pastelon, fried mashed potato balls, the options are endless. It’s so good it can absolutely be eaten all by itself or on top of a mound of fluffy white rice.
The cheese in this recipe is optional but definitely recommended. I hope this recipe can become a regular in your household. Don’t forget the Malta India!
