Oaxaca Mexican

Has anyone heard of this Mexican food / recipe? (specifically from Oaxaca)?

When I was in Oaxaca this summer, my host mother taught me to do these things fried banana. You mashed up bananas in a large pot (I think with some other ingredients) and then took pieces the mashed banana and shape around a piece of cheese from Oaxaca. They were then fried and served with a cream sauce. Sounds serious, I know, but I loved it, and I have idea of what are called or where I can get the recipe!

Sounds wonderful. I lived in Oaxaca for 7 months. What your description probably has hundreds of variations subtle. Enclosed is a recipe for banana cheese plate from LA Times.
