Smash Burger Jibarito
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!

Process
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!
