Ingredients

4 ripe plantains (2-1/2 lb.)
1/3 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing, divided
1 green pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped green olives
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
2 lb. extra-lean ground beef
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
2 pkt. seasoning with coriander and annatto
1 can (14.5 oz.) cut green beans, drained
1 pkg. (7 oz.) KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
1/4 cup fat-free milk

Steps:

Heat oven to 350ºF.
Cut plantains lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Heat 2 Tbsp. dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add half the plantains; cook 1-1/2 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm. Repeat with 2 Tbsp. of the remaining dressing and remaining plantains.
Add peppers, onions, olives, garlic, 1/4 cup cilantro and remaining dressing to skillet; cook and stir on medium heat 5 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in meat, tomato sauce and seasoning. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally; simmer on medium-low heat 10 min. or until meat is done, stirring occasionally.
Layer half each of the plantains, meat mixture, beans and cheese in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; repeat layers. Beat whole eggs, egg whites and milk with whisk until blended; pour over ingredients in baking dish. Cover.
Bake 30 min. or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
