Editor’s Note: May is National Hamburger Month… Enjoy!
In Puerto Rico, where I am from, there is a delicious trend! They make what are called Sandwiches de Platano.
Basically they put everything, from steak to roast pork between two fried green plantains (tostones), instead of bread and call it a sandwich.

And what a sandwich it is! Not only do you get less carbs (we could all use that) but you get more flavor! Here is my twist on the traditional hamburger, I call this one El Hamburger, and I hope this one shows up at your next outdoor shindig!
