2 ripe plantains, peeled
1 tablespoon butter, melted
3 ounces guava paste (bocadillo), sliced into thin strips (approximately 85 grams)
2 cups grated cheese: mozzarella or fresh cheese of your choice (cheese that melts)

Preheat the oven to 390° F.
Make a lengthwise slit along each plantain, taking care not to cut all the way through.
Gently open the slits and brush the inside of each plantain with melted butter.
Fill the slits with slices of guava paste (also known as bocadillo). 5. Place the plantains flat on a lined baking sheet.
Bake the plantains in the oven for 35 minutes, or until they are tender (golden brown) and the guava paste (bocadillo) has melted.
Remove the plantains from the oven and sprinkle grated cheese over the top.
Return the plantains to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve warm with roasted chicken and sliced vegetables.
