    Servings 4 servings

    Ingredients
     

    • Plantain chips made from 5 green plantains. See recipe here
    • ½ pound cheddar cheese shredded
    • ½ pound Monterey jack cheese shredded
    • ¼ cup white onions finely chopped
    • ¼ cup jalapeño slices
    • ¼ cup diced tomatoes
    • ¼ cup sliced black olives
    • ¼ fresh cilantro chopped

    Instructions
     

    • To assemble the nachos: Place a single layer of plantain chips on the bottom of an oven safe tray. Sprinkle some of the cheddar and Monterey jack cheese on top. Place diced onion and jalapeuño slices on top of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining plantain chips, cheese, jalapeuños and onions to create 3 more layers, making each layer slightly narrower than the previous one.
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake in oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and sprinkle diced tomatoes, olives and cilantro on top. Serve with guacamole on the side.

    Plantain NachosPin

    Sometimes while lying in bed at night, just about asleep, a recipe comes to me, like these Plantain Nachos. If you have been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that I am in love with plantains!

    Plantain NachosPin

    Today, I am putting a twist on Nachos, one of my favorite appetizers, with these Plantain Nachos. I combined two of my favorite dishes, nachos and green plantain chips (platanitos).

    The combination of crunchy plantain chips topped with cheese, jalapeños, tomato, and olives, served with creamy guacamole on the side is incredible! Throw on shredded chicken, pulled pork or ground beef and you’ve got yourself a whole meal!

    Have I convinced you yet?

      Oh to be able to get that many decent green plantains here in Spain. They appear rarely but often are too ripe but not quite ripe enough for frying as a dessert, however a few days takes care of that but one can't go backwards and make them less ripe for a savoury dish. Weather is cooling down with more days in the 13-16°C (that's 55-61°F) bracket so it will soon be time for warming soups, such as carrot and coriander or pumpkin, or leek and potato. If we could only get papas criollas, we could even make some almost authentic ajiacco bogotano - wonderful for a chilly day.

      Plantains are no easy to find but it really sounds delicious. I wonder if these can be made with unripe bananas? Sorry if this is a silly question but have never tasted plantains so I don't know if it tastes like banana.

      Great idea! I have had plantain as chips but using them for a nacho plate is genius. Looks delicious!

      I have seen nachos many ways - tortilla chips, fritos, potato slices, and even tater tots. But this is a first for me with the plantains and I like it.
