I love plantains and wanted an easy healthy appetizer, so I came up with this. I used my homemade Chipotle Sauce, which can be substituted for any hot or chile pepper sauce.

I used 1 large plantain, sliced them into thin round “chips”. I sprayed a flat grill pan with spray oil and cooked them on Medium heat until they were mostly cooked. Then I popped them into a pan and put in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes while I made the dip.

Use 1/4 of a package cream cheese with 2-3 tablespoons of Chipotle Sauce/Chili Sauce or Hot Sauce. Mix in Salt and Cracked pepper.

Wait until your plantains are semi-cooled before topping them with the Cream Cheese or they will melt. Top with garnish, like bell pepper or cilantro sprig.
