Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together chile pepper, bell pepper, onion, lime juice, and olive oil until combined. Set mojo aside.
- Fill a medium saucepan with 4 to 5 inches peanut oil; heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees. Carefully add 6 or 7 plantain rounds; fry until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels. Repeat with remaining plantains.
- Place a plantain round between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using a heavy skillet, press to flatten. Repeat with remaining plantains.
- Return plantains to oil; refry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. Sprinkle with salt; serve with mojo.
