Directions

Heat the oil in a Dutch oven to 375℉ (190℃). Fry four (4) pieces of plantain until they float to the surface, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and repeat with the remaining four (4) pieces. Using a wooden cutting board and a heavy flat-bottomed skillet, flatten each piece of plantain between a sheet of waxed or parchment paper. Refry each piece of flattened plantain, in batches, until golden, about 4 minutes. Season hot plantains with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside on a paper towel.

To build the sandwiches: On the bottom of four (4) fried plantains (these are now called "tostones"), place a slice of Provolone cheese, a quarter of the ham, a quarter of the avocado slices, a quarter of the tomato slices and one (1) lettuce leaf. Spread the garlic mayo on the top tostones and close. Cut in half on the bias.
