Cut the plátanos machos into three pieces and place them in a clean bowl.

Use slightly green plátanos for the best results, avoiding overly ripe ones.

Place the cut plátanos in a steamer with 3 liters of water and cover.

Steam on high heat for 10 minutes, ensuring the plátanos do not overcook.

After 10 minutes, remove the plátanos and let them cool for about 10 minutes.

Peel the plátanos once they are warm but not too hot to handle.

Mash the plátanos until smooth to create a dough-like consistency.

Prepare the filling by using cold rice pudding or cheese, adding a little sugar to taste.

Shape the mashed plátano into a canoe-like form, fill with the rice pudding or cheese, and seal the edges.

Heat oil in a skillet until hot, then lower the heat slightly to prevent burning.

Fry the empanadas until golden brown, flipping carefully to ensure even cooking.

Remove the empanadas from the oil and place them on a plate to drain.
