1. Put the plantain pieces in a medium pan and add hot water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook, partially covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool. When cool, purée in a food processor. Add the beaten egg, flour, and salt. Pulse 3 to 4 times to blend. If the mixture is sticky, add a little more flour.
2. Form the mixture into 12 balls. With a thumb, poke a hole and fill each ball with about 2 teaspoons refried beans. Mold the batter to enclose the beans into fat cigar shaped patties. Heat oil to a depth of about 1-inch over medium heat in a medium nonstick skillet until it shimmers. Fry the patties, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Serve hot on a bed of lettuce and top with a dollop of crema.
