Excellent. I tweaked this to be keto friendly. Crushed pork rinds. Added parmesan and seasoning. Dipped in egg and then my mixture. So very good! Will make again!

Excellent!! Better than most taquerias in San Antonio. We served as tortas (sandwiches) with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, avocado and salsa. It was amazing. Thank you for sharing! -

I made this for my 3 teenage sons and hubby! They are meat eaters and loved it! It’s similar to my breaded pork tenderloin that they love as well. I served it with homemade mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy! Yummy!
