In Ecuador, plantain is boiled, crushed, scrambled, and fried into ''majado''. This dish is typically served with a cup of coffee and bistek, fish, or grated cheese. It is a popular breakfast dish. Majado is also used as a base to prepare ''tigrillo'' and ''bolones''. To prepare tigrillo, majado is scrambled with pork rind, egg, cheese, green onions, parsley, and cilantro. To prepare bolones, majado is scrambled with cheese, pork rind, or a mixture of both. The resulting mixture is then shaped into a sphere which is later deep-fried. Both tigrillo and bolones are typically served with a cup of coffee.<ref>{{cite book | last=Albiston | first=I. | title=Lonely Planet Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands | publisher=Lonely Planet | series=Travel Guide | year=2022 | isbn=978-1-83758-041-5 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CI6cEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT647 | access-date=2024-08-09 | page=647}}</ref>
