Tex Mex Pork Chops Recipes

EASY AND DELICIOUS MEXICAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and black pepper, and brown them on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set chops aside.
• Mix the water, rice, tomato sauce, picante sauce, and taco seasoning in the prepared baking dish. Lay the chops into the rice mixture, and top with the green bell pepper slices. Cover the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chops are no longer pink inside and the rice is tender, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Uncover the dish, and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
• Return to the oven, and bake uncovered until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 5 to 10 more minutes.

GRILLED TEX-MEX PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, mix together 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, chile powder, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, to taste. Add half the can of tomatoes (reserve the remaining tomatoes for the Round 2 Recipe Beef and Bean Burritos). Add the pork chops, seal, and mix everything together. Put the bag into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Heat your outdoor grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Remove the chops from the marinade and grill on medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side. Pour the marinade into a saucepan, bring to boil, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• While the pork chops are cooking, make the cabbage. Shred half the head of cabbage (reserve remaining half for Round 2 Recipe Beef and Bean Burrito). In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. When it is hot, add the cabbage and cook until it starts to wilt, about 3 minutes. Then add the vinegar, brown sugar, and salt, to taste. Stir it well and cook until the cabbage is completely wilted and just tender, about 5 minutes.
• Serve the pork chops on top of the cabbage and top with the cooked marinade. (Reserve 1 pork chop for the Online Round 2 Recipe Pork and Cornbread Bites.)

TEX MEX STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Slice cheese into strips.
• 2. Make a slit down into the middle of your pork chop, don't cut all the way through. Stuff slices of cheese into slit.
• 3. Using toothpicks, try to close up slit as much as possible to prevent cheese from oozing out too badly.
• 4. Drizzle baking sheet and chops with olive oil, rub chops on both sides and season both sides with Mrs.Dash Southwest and chipotle seasoning.
• 5. Lay in bread crumbs and pat both sides. NOTE: most bakery's sell jalapeno cheese bread, but I make my own. Put pop it into food processor and turn into crumbs. The cheese in the bread helps make it more moist.
• 6. Place on oiled baking sheet and spray top of chops with spray oil.
• 7. Bake at 350° for 1 hr.
