{{RecipeIngredients
| 1 [[Pork|pork]] fillet cut into 4 steaks or 4 pork escallops, [[Pork fillet|flattened as shown here]] (don't cut them into strips though)
| 1 tablespoon [[Cider|cider]] [[Vinegar|vinegar]]
| 2 of your favourite [[Chillies|chillies]], rehydrated if dried and deseeded (to taste)
| 2 [[Cloves|cloves]] of [[Garlic|garlic]], peeled and crushed
| Sea [[Salt|salt]] and freshly ground [[Black pepper|black pepper]]
| Juice of 1 [[lemon]]
| Dash of [[olive oil]] for the marinade
| [[Olive]] [[Oil|oil]] for fryng (It's not authentic, but I feel so much healthier when [[Frying|frying]] with [[Olive oil|olive oil]]!)
| 1 large [[Egg|egg]], beaten
}}

'''Seasoned [[Flour|flour]]'''
* Sea [[Salt|salt]] and freshly ground [[Black pepper|black pepper]]
* 75 g (3 oz ) [[masa harina]] or [[yellow cornmeal]]
* 75 g (3 oz ) plain [[Flour|flour]]
* 2 tablespoons of [[Taco mix]]

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Mix together, the [[Vinegar|vinegar]], [[Garlic|garlic]], [[Chillies|chillies]], [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]], [[lemon juice]] and a splash of [[olive oil]] and mix to a thin marinade.
| Coat the [[Pork|pork]] steaks with the marinade, refrigerate and allow to infuse for at least 2 hours.
| Add the two flours, the [[taco mix]] to a shallow dish and mix well to combine
|# You can omit the taco mix but it would be a shame as it gives the coating a homemade 'Kentucky-fried' flavour.
| [[Dip]] both sides of the steaks into the seasoned [[Flour|flour]]
| Knock off any excess [[Flour|flour]] and [[Dip|dip]] into the beaten [[Egg|egg]], then back into the seasoned flour.
| Again, knock off any excess [[Flour|flour]].
| [[Fry]] in a little [[Olive|olive]] [[Oil|oil]] until the pork is properly cooked and golden brown on both sides.
| Pat any excess [[Oil|oil]] off on a kitchen towel.
