About

A cousin of the German schnitzel, Southern Milanesa draws from the light, sunny flavors of the Mediterranean for its pounded-thin, fried protein! But instead of the typical Chicken Milanese, Southern Milanesa delivers the crispy, golden-brown dish with tender beef for a splendidly savory experience! That's right, this is chicken-fried steak in a whole new way! Crunchy on the outside and finished with a splash of refreshing lime, this is one dish you just can't pass up!
