Tajadas Recipe

Tajadas, or sweet plantain slices, are made with ripened plantains and in Colombia they are usually served as an appetizer or side dish. Tajada slices is a dish of fried plantains that are sliced long. It is a typical food of Caribbean countries as well as Nicaragua, Colombia, Honduras, Panama, and Venezuela. It is sometimes served with grated cheese. Tajadas, or sweet plantain slices, is one of my favorite side dishes, which is something that my mom used to make several times a week, especially at lunch time. There’s nothing better than biting into a super sweet and tender tajada followed by a spoonful of white rice and beans.
