Deep-fry the green plantains until crispy and bright yellow, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to absorb extra oil.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Arrange the plantain chips on a large baking sheet. Top the plantain chips with the Pinto Beans, Pulled Pork and Red Chile Sauce. Add the cheese and bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Garnish with chopped culantro and sriracha mayo. Serve.
Pinto Beans (Habichuelas Guisadas):
Yield:6 servings
Pour 8 cups water in a saucepan and add the dry beans, salt, 1/2 cup onions, 1/2 cup bell peppers and 1 tablespoon sofrito. Bring to boil and cook over high heat, adding water as needed, until beans are soft, about 45 minutes.
Add the oil to a separate saucepan, followed by the bacon, and then the pumpkin, tomato sauce, remaining 1/2 cup onions, 1/2 cup peppers and tablespoon sofrito. Bring to a boil and cook until all vegetables are cooked, about 5 minutes. Add the mixture to the beans and continue boiling for an additional 5 minutes.
Pulled Pork:
Yield:15 to 20 servings
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Mix garlic, salt, pepper and garlic salt in a bowl, then add oil. Rub all over the pork butt. Place the pork in a deep pan and cover with a pan lid or foil. Roast until tender, 5 to 6 hours. (If still not tender after 6 hours, add 1/2 cup water to the pan, then cover the pan and roast an additional 30 minutes.) Shred the meat with tongs.
Red Chile Sauce:
Yield:2 cups
Mix the chile puree, garlic, oregano, some salt and 2 cups water in a saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce until sauce thickens, about 7 minutes.
