Ingredients
- 1 pound of veal cutlets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
- 5 radishes
- 2 cucumbers
- 1 shallot
- Chives
- 1/2 cup well-washed cilantro
- Olive oil
- Juice and zest of one lime
- Chili pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper
Condiments
- Sour cream
- Sriracha-style hot sauce
- Lime quarter
- Small tortillas
Preparation
- For optimal tenderness: before cooking, gently flatten the cutlets using a meat mallet.
- Heat a pan on high with butter and vegetable oil.
- Add the veal cutlets. Do not overfill the pan as it will cool down too much and it will be difficult brown the veal. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes so that meat has browned. Turn and brown the second side. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the cutlets into strips and keep warm.
- Cut the tomatoes into quarters and set aside in a bowl.
- Chop the other vegetables into small cubes and add them to the tomatoes.
- Add cilantro to the salsa.
- Add a generous dash of olive oil, zest and lime juice, as well as salt and pepper. For a spicier salsa, add a small chili pepper.
- Warm the tortillas quickly in a hot pan.
- Fill the tortillas with veal strips, salsa, lime juice, and a dash of sour cream and hot sauce, if desired.
