This delicious appetizer is a sweet and savory mix of fried plantains, creamy avocado and sweet mango. When buying plantains for tostones, you want to look for a yellow plantain with a few black marks on its skin. If it’s too dark and almost all black, it’s too ripe to fry. If it’s green, then it’s not ripe enough.
