Mexican Milanese
Mexican Milanese delivers bold Tex-Mex flavour with strong counter appeal, making it an ideal raw chicken product for progressive butchers. It combines vibrant colour, layered textures, and familiar flavours that customers instantly recognise and trust. This makes it easy to sell as a premium, ready-to-cook option for midweek meals or weekend treats.
The process starts with fresh chicken fillets that you butterfly to create a large, even base. This gives the product a generous look in the display and helps toppings sit cleanly without sliding. Verstegen Batter and Shake coats the chicken first, helping the fillet stay juicy during cooking while providing a consistent foundation. You then apply Verstegen Schnitzelmix Tex Mex, which brings warmth, colour, and a bold spice profile that stands out instantly on the counter.
The topping takes this product to the next level. Verstegen Chilli Con Carne Sauce, mixed with beans, adds richness and depth while creating a slow-cooked appearance customers love. This layer also helps increase perceived value without adding complexity to production. Grated cheddar cheese delivers familiar comfort and strong melt, while diced Verstegen Sliceable Nacho Sauce adds creamy contrast and visual impact. Jalapeños and fresh chillies finish the product with freshness and a clear signal of heat.
Mexican Milanese works hard for the butcher. It is easy to produce in batches, holds well in the counter, and maintains its structure. Staff can confidently recommend it as a fakeaway favourite or oven-ready dinner. With recognisable Verstegen products throughout, this Milanese offers consistency, flavour confidence, and a bold look that encourages repeat sales.
