What’s a party without some chips and dip? I like offering my guests a Latino option in addition to tortilla chips and salsa; something they may not see at an average party. So here you are - a recipe for plantain chips and black bean dip! While plantains are often found in Caribbean cooking, they are also used in the food of my Mami’s native country, Peru. In this recipe I baked the chips instead of frying to cut back on some fat.
