Personal Notes:
This easy recipe is great fun to do with children. Called chifle in Ecuador, mariquitas in Cuba and plátanos fritos in Colombia, fried plantains are a staple whatever the name in every Latin American, tropical civilization.

I have fond memories of not only cooking these tasty crowd-pleasers with my Colombian grandmother and mother, but also passing on the tradition and culture to my students over the years.
