Chicken Katsu is Brian’s favorite Japanese simple dish. Even when we go to sushi, he usually orders this with small amounts of sushi. So after seven years of being together, I finally made it for him lol! It’s so easy to make, which makes it kind of funnier that I have never made it.

Disclosure: This is a compensated post in collaboration with Cacique and Latina Bloggers Connect. As usual all opinions are my own. What is there not to love about a plate full of flautas, aka taquitos? Um, nothing, nada, nope. I am a huge fan of a giant plate of these babies. Smother crispy tortilla with crema, queso Panela, and salsa, come on, I am so there. We were asked to come up with an awesome movie night recipe for the family. Often…
