Preparation
0/5 steps complete
Prepare the base: roasted plantain. Warm black beans until glossy and seasoned, then let them settle before packing.
Cook or prep sweet corn separately so the side keeps its texture.
Spoon salsa verde onto black beans at the end, using just enough to season the main bite without soaking the grains or vegetables.
Arrange the main, the side, and the fresh or crunchy pieces in separate groups so every bite keeps its texture.
Eat cold or room temperature. Do not microwave this recipe; it has fresh, crisp, creamy, or fruit components.
