Steps:

• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 minutes, then drain and mash.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the refried beans and stir in the sugar and salt, mix well then remove from heat.
• To make the rellenitos, form a palm-sized amount of mashed plantains into a ball; flatten and place about a teaspoon of the bean mixture in the middle; then mold the sides of the plantain around the beans, making an egg-shaped ball.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F or until a small amount of batter sizzles and browns in the oil.
• Fry rellenitos in oil until browned and drain on paper towels.
• Enjoy plain, with sugar or with sour cream.
