Heat sufficient vegetable oil in a deep skillet until hot for frying.

Peel the green plantains and slice them into thick pieces.

Fry the plantain slices in the hot oil until golden brown, about 12 minutes total, flipping them halfway through.

Remove the fried plantains and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Flatten each fried plantain slice using a flat surface or a tostonera.

Return the flattened plantains to the hot oil and fry again until crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels again.

Prepare toppings such as shredded meat, ham, cheese, lettuce, cabbage, tomato, and onion.

Assemble by placing the toppings on each patacón.

Serve immediately.
