Tostones with cheese for frying

Tostones with cheese for frying are a typical dish of several Latin American and Caribbean cuisines. They consist of thick slices of green plantain fried twice until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They are served accompanied by queso fresco or queso para fry, which melts slightly on top of the hot tostones, creating a delicious combination of flavors and textures.
