Ingredients

  • 2 ripe plantains

  • La Morenita Queso Fresco, sliced

  • 1 cup grated panela or brown sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 3 whole cloves

  • Toothpicks, for securing

Directions

  1. Peel plantains and slice lengthwise. Fry slices until golden, then drain on paper towels

  2. Place a slice of La Morenita Queso fresco on each plantain piece, roll up, and secure with a toothpick.

  3. In a saucepan, combine water, grated panela (or brown sugar), cinnamon stick, and cloves. Cook until the panela fully dissolves.

  4. Add the plantain rolls to the syrup. Simmer on very low heat for about 10 minutes, so the rolls absorb the flavor

  5. Remove from heat and serve warm
