Directions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat 3 minutes; carefully add plantains and cook 5 minutes or just until starting to brown, turning once. With a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer plantains to a paper towel-lined plate. Place plantains, flat sides down, on a cutting board; with bottom of a glass, press to ¼-inch thick.
- Whisk 1 teaspoons salt and 1 cup water in a medium bowl until salt dissolves; add plantains and let stand 1 minute. Transfer plantains to a paper towel-lined plate; pat dry.
- Reheat remaining oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat 30 seconds. In batches, if necessary, carefully add plantains to oil; cook 4 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Transfer plantains to a paper towel-lined plate; sprinkle with remaining ½ teaspoon salt and keep warm. Makes about 16 tostones.
- Prepare Chopped Kit as package directs in a large bowl. Add avocado and tomatoes; toss. Makes about 5 cups.
- Serve salad topped with tostones.
