Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped jicama
1/2 cup finely chopped red peppers
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup KRAFT Zesty Lime Vinaigrette Dressing
1 small avocado, chopped
1 cup oil
2 green plantains, each cut into 12 slices
2 Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

Steps:

Combine first 5 ingredients in medium bowl; gently stir in avocados.
Heat oil in medium skillet on medium heat. Add plantains; cook 3 min. or until tender and evenly browned, turning after 1-1/2 min. Use slotted spoon to transfer plantains to work surface; flatten to 1/4-inch thickness. (See tip.)
Return plantains, 6 at a time, to skillet; cook 1 min. on each side or until each is golden brown on both sides. Remove from skillet; drain on paper towel-covered plate. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining plantains.
Sprinkle plantain chips with cheese. Serve with salsa.
