INGREDIENTS

  • Pork Chops Seasoning

    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • Cooking Chops

    • 2 tablespoons oil
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • Sauce

    • 🧅 1/2 cup onion, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 3/4 cup chicken broth
    • 1 (4 ounce) can green chiles, diced
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • Garnish

    • 2 tablespoons cotija cheese, crumbled

STEPS

1

Pat chops dry with paper towels. Combine cumin, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, garlic, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle chops on both sides with seasoning blend and rub into the meat.

2

Pour oil into a large, nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat until oil shimmers. Swirl the pan to cover the bottom with oil. Add seasoned chops and cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

3

For sauce, melt butter in the same skillet, stirring up any browned bits. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.

4

Stir in flour, making sure all the flour is coated in oil, and cook until bubbly, about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth to the mixture and stir until smooth.

5

Add Hatch chiles and minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

6

Return chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet, and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145°F (63°C).

7

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the skillet just before serving. Serve with cheese crumbles and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
