Recipe - Milanesa Torta with Tomatillo Dressing

So this is a recipe I made up to mimic an amazing sandwich I had at a local Mexican joint. This comes as close as possible while still being healthy. It's a little high on points, due to the bread (I used a wheat hamburger bun). But feel free to eat this without bread. It would still be yummy. With bread it's 14 pts. Without bread, it would be about 9 pts. This sandwhich is super filling. I couldn't even finish my jicama fries.

Milanesa Torta with Tomatillo Dressing

Ingredients:

(Dressing)

1 Tomatillo - quartered

1 Tbsp fresh cilantro

1 Jalapeno, chopped, seeded

1/4 cup mayo, light

Salt/pepper

(Milanesa)

2 Center cut pork chops, 3 oz, trimmed of all fat, pounded to 1/4 inch

Olive oil spray

3 egg whites

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/3 cup wheat breadcrumbs

Dash of Cumin

Salt/Pepper

1/4 Garlic Powder

1 Tomato, sliced thin

1 Jalapeno

1/2 avocado cut into thin wedges

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add veggies and cilantro into the food processor. 

Pulse until chunky. Add mayo, salt and pepper (to taste). Set aside.

Pound and tenderize the pork to 1/4 inch.

 Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with olive oil spray. Add egg whites to a bowl and fluff with fork. Add both breadcrumbs, cumin, salt/pepper, and garlic powder. Mix together well. Dip pork chops in egg whites and let excess drip off. Dip pork in breadcrumbs and pat to coat. Place on baking sheet and spray top with olive oil spray. Cook for 20 mins.

Roast jalapeno over open flame for a few minutes, turning frequently with heat resistant tongs, until all sides are equally blistered. Cut into thin slices. Leave or remove seeds according to taste. (Removing seeds will lessen the heat)

Assemble sandwich, Pork, dressing, tomato, jalapenos, avocado, bun. Grill the sandwich either in a pan, or a panini press (even a George Foreman would work).
