Mexican dish of breaded meat served with tortillas, lettuce, tomato and sour cream
One of my favorite dishes to order at Tacos El Norte growing up was Milanesa. Milanesa is breaded steak, pork or chicken; here it is breaded steaks served with tortillas, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Tacos El Norte was my go to Mexican restaurant, and making this for dinner reminded me of that. The dinner always came with two big pieces of breaded steak, all the fixings seen here, tortillas, rice and beans. I could eat this dish multiple times a week, and it's a nice mashup of tacos.
