Tortilla Lollies
- Tortilla lollies
- 4 - 6 wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup - 1 cup of salsa (Homemade or storebought). See http://www.food52.com/recipes...besttomato_salsa
- 1/4 of an Iceberg lettuce, washed and shredded
- Coriander leaves and stems, torn
- Plantanos Fritos
- Optional: 2 white fish fillets, pan fried and flaked into large pieces (I used Tilapia)
- Sour cream, to serve
- Platanos Fritos
- 2 - 3 ripe plantains
- Vegetable oil for deep-frying
- Salt (optional)
- Warm tortillas according to instruction on the pack
- Place some salsa in the centre of each tortilla and spread out with a spoon. Top with some iceberg lettuce and coriander leaves. Finish off by adding some whole/sliced plantanos fritos and if using, tilapia flakes. Then roll up.
- With the seam side up, pass 4 - 6 skewers or toothpicks at regular intervals and then cut into rings.
- Heat about 3-4 cm of oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Slice the plantains open and halve length ways and cross ways to yield 4 pieces. Salt if necessary.
- When the oil has warmed up (such that an onion ring fries in 30 - 40 seconds), add the plantains, a few pieces at a time, and fry till one side is golden.
- Turn and let the other side brown. Remove and place in a colander/sieve lined with paper towels. Let cool down and when ready to use, leave whole or slice.
