1
Warm tortillas according to instruction on the pack

Place some salsa in the centre of each tortilla and spread out with a spoon. Top with some iceberg lettuce and coriander leaves. Finish off by adding some whole/sliced plantanos fritos and if using, tilapia flakes. Then roll up.

Slice the plantains open and halve length ways and cross ways to yield 4 pieces. Salt if necessary.

When the oil has warmed up (such that an onion ring fries in 30 - 40 seconds), add the plantains, a few pieces at a time, and fry till one side is golden.

Turn and let the other side brown. Remove and place in a colander/sieve lined with paper towels. Let cool down and when ready to use, leave whole or slice.
