Method

Before frying plantains, mix cumin and lime juice into the oil. 1: Proceed with frying as instructed.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice plantains into 1/4-inch thick rounds and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In the same skillet, crack eggs and cook to desired doneness, either sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled.
In a separate pan, warm the rice and beans together, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent drying out.
Arrange fried plantains on a plate, top with eggs, and serve alongside warm rice and beans.
