You’ll need to use green plantains and peel them first. So make them because they are totally worth it! Jibaritos are out of this world!! Unless you’re in an area with a large Puerto Rican population, you probably won’t be able to find them at a restaurant. (Just think of them as large tostones.) Fried plantains are the greatest thing since sliced bread! Ok, well, technically they were invented long before sliced bread, but the man who first used them like sliced bread is genius! Jibaritos are a sandwich that uses two fried plantains instead of bread.
Have you ever heard of a jibarito sandwich? I first tried a jibarito sandwich in Chicago, which is where it was invented 20 years ago.
