Can I use ripe plantains for the tartlet shells?

The recipe specifies green bananas or plantains, which are firmer and less sweet, ideal for creating sturdy, savory tartlet shells. Ripe plantains would be too soft and sweet.

Is frying the plantains necessary before baking?

Yes, briefly frying the plantain slices for 30 seconds helps to soften them slightly, making them easier to mold into the muffin tray and contributes to a crispier texture after baking.

Can I prepare the guacamole filling ahead of time?

While you can chop some ingredients like tomatoes and cilantro in advance, it's best to mash the avocado and mix the guacamole just before serving to prevent browning and maintain freshness.

Are these plantain tartlets served warm or cold?

The plantain tartlet shells are baked and can be served warm, but the guacamole filling is best enjoyed fresh and cool, so the overall dish is typically served at room temperature or slightly chilled.

How should I store leftover Plantain Tartlets Stuffed With Guacamole?

Due to the fresh avocado in the filling, these tartlets are best enjoyed immediately. If you have leftovers, store the tartlet shells and filling separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to a day, then assemble just before eating.

Peel the plantains and cut them into slices.
Heat a large amount of oil in a frying pan and fry the plantain slices for 30 seconds and drain them.
To make the tarts we need an oven tray for muffins. With the banana slices cover the bottom and the edges of each mold by smashing them a bit with the fork. Bake the tarts for 5-10 minutes at 350ºF.
Prepare the filling. Mash the avocado and mix it with the lemon juice, salt, pepper, chopped garlic, chopped tomatoes, cilantro and corn.
Fill the tarts and serve.
