| Fried green plantains, called tostones or mariquitas, and ripe plantains, or maduros, round out the meal. |
| Ripe fried plantains are called amarillas, green fried ones are patacon pisao, and they become tostones when fried and mashed. |
| Suckingly juicy shreds of beef picadillo are pressed into chewy, barely sweet plantain cups to form delicious tostones rellenos. |
| As noted previously, before 1959, arroz con pollo and tostones were the standard Sunday dinner. |
| Even the food sold by street vendors, such as grilled meat or tostones, is delicious. |
| They talked about rice, black beans, pork, yuca con mojo, tostones or tachinos. |
