Boil beans in water only until tender. Blend beans and mix in sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa powder.

Using gloves, take 1/2 cup of plantains and form into a boat. Add a little bean mixture to inside and fold plantains around beans to stuff them. Roll rellenitos in flour and fry in vegetable oil until browned on each side. Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.
