Tigrillo is a great one-person meal. One green plantain equals one serving. It is also a one pot meal: the same pot you use to initially boil the plantain is the same pot you use to finish cooking the dish. To give tigrillo its creamy consistency, all it takes is stirring in some of the water used to boil the plantain. The starches in the water enable the plantain to achieve this cohesive consistency, similar to lumpy mashed potatoes. Stir in some crumbled queso while its cooking and you will be in breakfast heaven.
