  3. To prepare the tostones: Preheat a skillet on medium- high. Add coconut oil. Once oil is hot, carefully place the sliced plantain in the oil. Let cook for 3 minutes or till it begins to turn golden. Flip them. Let the other side cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove the plantains from the oil and smash with a flat cup or small dish. Once they have all been pressed flat, return to the oil. Cook for an additional 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. IMMEDIATELY sprinkle with salt.
  4. Prepare smashed avocado: Cut a ripe plantain in half. Discard pit. In a small bowl smash the avocado and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice.
