Smash Burger Jibarito (Edit recipe)

This smash burger jibarito is insanely delicious! I somehow managed to recreate the viral smash burger taco and make it even better! Instead of using a flour tortilla I used tostones. The result is a sandwich that gives jibarito, smash burger and big mac all in one! It’s mind-blowing!

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Tostones:

Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees. Cut the ends off the plantain. Slice the skin from end to end. Peel the skin off and cut the plantain into 2-inch rounds.
Place the plantain pieces in your air fryer basket and spray them with olive oil spray. Air fry for 5 minutes.
Prepare a bowl of salted water.
Remove the plantain pieces from the air fryer. Smash plantains to about 1/2-inch thickness using a tostonera (plantain smasher) or the bottom of a glass.
Soak the smashed tostones in the bowl of salted water for a couple of minutes. Remove the tostones from the salted water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Return tostones to the air fryer in batches, cooking in a single layer each time. Spray the tops with olive oil spray and air fry for 5 minutes.
Flip with tongs and spray the other side with olive oil spray. Air fry until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes more.
Remove tostones from air fryer and season with salt.

Burgers:

Smash some meat on the tostones with a fork, making sure you save some tostones for the tops.
Sprinkle the meat with a little adobo.
Heat a pan over medium high heat. Cook meat side down for a couple of minutes. The meat will cook through quickly. (And yes the meat will be fully cooked on both sides.)
Flip over and top with cheese.
Once the cheese has melted, remove from heat.
Add toppings of choice and a drizzle of mac sauce. Top with a toston and enjoy!
