Ingredients
Garlic Mayo:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp grater
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Tostones:
1 tablespoon olive oil
One 4- to 5-ounce piece thick-cut deli boiled ham, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as canola
One 16-ounce box frozen tostones, thawed
Kosher salt
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
One 4-ounce block mild Cheddar, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 Roma tomato, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Directions
- For the garlic mayo: Mix together the mayonnaise, chili powder, cumin, garlic and a little salt and pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
- For the tostones: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and ham and cook, tossing occasionally, until seared, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat a 14-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil. Fry the tostones until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet fitted with a cooling rack. Season with salt immediately.
- To build the tostone bites: Arrange the tostones on a serving platter. Top each with a dollop of the garlic mayo, followed by some of the ham, lettuce, Cheddar and tomatoes.
