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!
