Step 1

Using a sharp knife, cut the plantains in half.

Step 2

In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil until at least 2-3 inches deep in your frying pan.

Step 3

Set the stove to medium heat and wait until the oil is hot, about 375°F/190℃.

Step 4

Gently drop the plantains into the oil using tongs. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry each plantain until it is light brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Step 5

Use a large, slotted spoon to remove the plantains from the oil.

Step 6

Place plantains on a chopping board or flat surface and press down on it firmly with the back of a heavy plate, bottle or skillet until flattened. You want them to be about ¼-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining slices.

Step 7

Refry the flattened pieces in the 375°F/190℃ oil, turning them occasionally for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden, transfer them with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, and season them with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Whisk together mayonnaise, garlic, hot sauce, and chili powder in a medium bowl.

Step 9

Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 10

Season steak with salt, Sazon seasoning, cumin, oregano, vinegar, and olive oil. Set aside.

Step 11

Heat a skillet on medium with 1-2 tablespoons of oil.

Step 12

As soon as the oil is hot, put the steak in and fry each side for 2-3 minutes or until it reaches the desired doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 13

Spread some mayonnaise sauce on the fried plantain.

Step 14

Add tomatoes, onions, beef, lettuce, and cheese.

Step 15

Top with another plantain.

Step 16

Cut in half and serve!
