Plantain Tortilla Chips

I tried making these tortilla chips made from plantains. It took me 2 days and 3 different grocery stores to find green plantains, but I did manage! They took a really long time to blend in my food processor but at the end it was 'dough-y' but smelled like banana. I was very, very skeptical about how well this would work. I was pleasantly surprised!! They do need a little tweaking though. The first batch, I spread out too thick and I undercooked them at first and they were soft and stretchy, but they would have been excellent as tortilla wraps! I will have to try that in the future! Then I put them back in the oven and they got crispier, but they were pretty thick and hard. But taste-wise they were great! Then the next batch I made some of it too thin, and it kind of burned. But there were some that came out perfect! So, it was more of a user-error issue! I think they'll work out better next time, and I will definitely be making them again! I will also try making tortilla wraps out of them and make fajitas!
