Time 30m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup canola oil
1 unripe plantain, peeled and halved crosswise
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 sprigs cilantro
1/2 avocado, pitted and peeled
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded roast chicken
2 leaves green leaf lettuce
2 slices tomatoes

Steps:

Heat oil in a 10" skillet over medium-high heat. Add plantain halves and fry, turning once, until light brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and split each plantain in half lengthwise, keeping them hinged on the inward-curved side. Place on cutting board cut sides down and, using a plate, flatten each into a 1/4″-thick round disk. One at a time, return each plantain disk to the oil and fry, turning once, until crisp and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to paper towels to drain.
Purée mayonnaise, cilantro, and avocado in a food processor until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl and add chicken; toss to coat. Place chicken mixture on one plantain disk and top with lettuce and tomato. Cover with remaining disk.
