Stuffed plantain cups

Stuffed plantain cups are delicious and cute little cups made out of fried green plantains and are filled with your favorite meat, fish, or vegetables. These easy to prep and are such a fun and delicious appetizer to serve at your next event. Choose any meat, fish, or vegetable. I use Picadillo, Avocado, and Cooked Salmon or Picadillo with Chickpeas. In Jamaica I would use would Ackee fruit and Salt Cod.
