Delicious beef and green bean layer between savory eggs and sweet plantains. Drizzle extra sofrito for added flavor on any meat or bean dish!
Ingredients:
  • olive oil
  • 1 onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1 bunch culantro
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch adobo seasoning, or to taste
  • 8 ripe plantains, peeled and cut on the bias
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans green beans, drained
Instructions:
  • Prepare the sofrito by blending together onion, bell pepper, parsley, cilantro, culantro, garlic, and water until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until needed.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until crumbly, browned, and no longer pink. Mix in 2 tablespoons of sofrito, then season with sazon, pepper, and adobo. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • 1. Preheat skillet over medium heat. Add plantains and pan fry until golden and softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. 2. Place half of the plantains in a deep baking dish to cover the bottom. Pour 4 beaten eggs over the plantains, then add the beef on top. Layer green beans over the beef. 3. Arrange the remaining plantains on top. Evenly pour 4 more beaten eggs over the plantains. Sprinkle with adobo seasoning before serving.
  • Cook in the oven until the eggs are set, for about 30 to 45 minutes.
