Ingredients

Pork

  • 4 6oz boneless pork chops
  • 1 tablespoon new mexico chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • salt

Salad

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce cleaned and chopped, or a pack of romaine hearts
  • 8 ounces cheese shredded, american or colby jack
  • 1-2 jalapenos sliced thin
  • ranch I like Marie's brand if not homemade

Instructions

  • In a bowl large enough to hold the pork chops mix together the chili powder, oregano, cumin, 1 tablespoon of oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Place the pork in and turn around to coat the chops in the mixture
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet to medium high heat and add the remaining oil. Place the pork in the skillet and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes or until the pork is cooked through. When the pork is done remove it from the heat and let it rest for at least 3 minutes before slicing.
  • While you are cooking the pork prepare the salads. In a large salad bowl or individual plates add the lettuce and top with cheese, jalapenos, and ranch. Top with the sliced pork and enjoy!
