Stuffed Maduros
Stuffed Maduros (sweet plantains), is an easy delicious weeknight meal that also packs a nutritional punch! Plantains are a type of banana used in Latin and Caribbean cultures. These bananas are stuffed with grass-fed beef, seasoned with some of my favorite Puerto Rican spices., making it a flavorful dish. The key is to make sure your bananas are ripe, but not overly ripe. You want your plantains to be yellow, with black spots but not completely black.
