Mariquitas are a delicious treat originating from the vibrant flavors of Latin cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Cuba and Puerto Rico. These crispy plantain chips are made from green plantains, sliced thin, and fried to a perfect golden crisp. Often lightly salted, they offer a satisfying crunch that pairs wonderfully with dips or as a standalone snack. While they do contain oils from frying, they are gluten-free and provide essential nutrients, such as potassium and fiber. So, whether you're enjoying them at a fiesta or as a midday snack, mariquitas bring a taste of the tropics to your table!
