How to Throw a Fiesta with Grocery Outlet
Warm weather is just around the corner! Let me show you how to throw a perfect fiesta with the help of Grocery Outlet!
Ingredients
For the Maduros:
- 2 very ripe plantains with mostly dark brown spots
- neutral oil I used avocado oil found at Grocery Outlet
For the Fiesta:
- 1 recipe of guacamole (se notes)
- 1 recipe of vegan queso dip (see notes)
- fresh veggies for dipping I used baby peppers and tomatoes
- 1 bag of organic tortilla chips
- cilantro to garnish
- WINE!
Instructions
- Follow the directions to make both the guacamole and the vegan queso dip (linked above). Set aside.
For the Maduros:
- Pour enough oil into a small skillet to be about 1/2 inch deep. Heat over medium high heat. The oil will be ready for frying when you can put a wooden spoon into the oil and see small bubbles form around the spoon.
- Peel the plantains and slice on the diagonal, about 1/2 inch deep.
- Place the plantains into the oil, a few at a time, and fry for a minute or so on each side, carefully turning so you don't splash yourself with oil.
- When plantains are golden brown on each side carefully transfer them onto a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Repeat with remaining plantain slices.
For the Fiesta!
- Arrange the queso, guacamole, and maduros onto a serving platter.
- Fill in with the fresh veggies, and set out a bowl of tortilla chips
- Most importantly, set out a few glasses and pour yourself and your guests a glass of wine!
- Salud!
