How To Make beef-filled ripe plantains/canoas

• 
  Step 1
  Cook ground beef, season to taste.
• 
  Step 2
  Peel the plantains carefully to make sure they do not break. You need whole plantains and appearance is quite important in this dish.
• Step 3
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. While the oven preheats fry the plantains in enough oil to cover them. Be careful while handling so that plantains do not break.
• 
  Step 4
  Remove from the oil when golden brown. Soak off excess oil by draining on paper towels.
• Step 5
  Slit each plantain lengthwise, about an inch from each end, half as deep as the plantain's circumference.
• Step 6
  Place about two tablespoonfuls of the filling inside the slit in each plantain.
• Step 7
  Place the plantains side by side in an ovenproof dish. Spread the shredded cheddar or mozarella cheese over the filling. Bake in the oven for around ten minutes. Recipe from: www.elcolmadito.com
