Preparation
0/5 steps complete
Prepare the base: roasted plantain. Warm or sear black beans until the edges look browned and appetizing.
Cook or prep sweet corn, green beans separately so the side keeps its texture.
Brush salsa verde lightly over the protein so it seasons the main bite without soaking the rice or vegetables.
Let hot food cool for a few minutes, then arrange the main, the side, and the fresh or crunchy pieces in separate groups so every bite keeps its texture.
Set aside salsa verde before reheating. Warm only the cooked components, uncovered, for 45 to 75 seconds.
