Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 2 Cemita Rolls
  • 2 boneless pork chops
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg scrambled
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 ripe avocado sliced
  • 2 chipotle chiles in adobo chopped
  • Sliced vegetables such as onions, carrots, and bell peppers
  • 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • arugula

Instructions

  • Place pork chops in a ziploc bag and flatten them with a food mallet or hand to about 1/2 inch or less.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour or harina, salt and pepper
  • Carefully dip to coat the pork chops into the flour, then into the scrambled egg, and then into either the breadcrumbs or the flour mixture.
  • Heat a skillet over high heat and add ¼ inch of oil. Allow the oil to reach a temperature of 325 degrees F.
  • Fry the pork for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown on the outside and cooked thoroughly on the inside. Place on a plate and cover with foil.
  • Slice your cemita roll in half and scoop out some of the bread from the top half. This will allow more room for fillings.
  • Make the sandwiches by starting with the avocado, chipotles, vegetables, pork, queso, and arugula.
