Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the most heavenly midnight craving crusher that’ll make your taste buds do the salsa – my abuela’s secret Churro-Stuffed Plantain Bites! Trust me, this isn’t your basic late-night snack; this is what dreams are made of! 🍌✨
Picture this: you’re up late binge-watching your favorite show, and suddenly that sweet-and-salty craving hits. Been there, done that! Instead of reaching for those boring chips, why not spend 15 minutes making something that’ll have you feeling like you’re at a Latin street festival?
Here’s what you’ll need, mi amores:
– 2 ripe plantains (you want them almost black – like my coffee on Monday mornings)
– 1/2 cup dulce de leche
– 1/4 cup crushed cinnamon cookies
– 2 tbsp butter
– Cinnamon sugar for coating
– A pinch of salt (just like your ex 💅)
The magic steps:
1. Peel and slice those plantains into 1-inch chunks
2. Pan-fry them in butter until golden brown (like that summer tan we’re all chasing)
3. While they’re still hot, make a little well in each piece
4. Fill with dulce de leche (be generous, life’s too short!)
5. Top with crushed cinnamon cookies
6. Roll in cinnamon sugar

The best part? These little bites of heaven stay good for about 2 days in the fridge (if they last that long – mine never do! 😉). Pro tip: warm them up for 10 seconds in the microwave, and they’re just as amazing as fresh!
