Chuleta Valluna
Chuleta valluna is the Colombian verse of milanese or schnitzel. The pork is marinated in aromatics such as onion, garlic, and green onion and seasoned cumin. It is then dredged in flour, egg, then breadcrumbs seasoned with sazon. The breaded cutlets are then fried rather quickly in oil since they are so thin. Serve chuleta valluna with yuca fries.
