Side dishes: if you don’t have tacos, you can simply serve with a side dish of rice and vegetables.
Tips and tricks: if you don’t have access to an outdoor grill, you can still pan-fry by following the same steps and using a large skillet. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your piece of meat. Lighten up your cooking day by preparing the veal flap meat the day before.
