Tex Mex Chops

Ingredients:
– 4 bone-in pork chops
– 2 teaspoons chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup salsa
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:
1. Begin by seasoning the pork chops. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture over both sides of the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.

3. Pour the salsa over the pork chops in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the chops simmer in the salsa for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the Tex Mex Chops with fresh cilantro for a pop of freshness and color.

5. Serve the Tex Mex Chops hot with a side of rice and beans, or with a crunchy salad for a well-rounded meal that is perfect for any night of the week. Enjoy the succulent pork chops with the spicy kick of the Tex Mex seasonings and the bright acidity of the salsa. Your taste buds will thank you for this delightful culinary adventure!
