Chile Lime Pork Chops
August 12, 2011 – 5:35 pmA really easy, fast, and cheap dinner tonight. I’m just wiped out, and wouldn’t have even bothered with this if the pork chops didn’t need to be used today. 😛 As it is, this was not much more effort than warming something in the microwave, and it was much faster than ordering in, so I can’t complain. 🙂
The pork chops are seasoned with Fiesta Lime Mrs Dash. I saw it on a store shelf and was intrigued. It’s actually quite decent. If I were going for more effort, I’d make a rub with chili powder, garlic, black pepper, and lime juice, but for fast and effortless, definitely give the Mrs Dash a try. You could certainly substitute any of your favorite spices to make broiled pork chops in any number of iterations.
I served the chops with a little green salad – just some torn lettuce from yesterday’s CSA box, which I’d washed and torn last night and stored in the fridge, so zero effort there.
Chile Lime Pork Chops
Serves 3
1.25 lbs thinly sliced boneless pork chops
Fiesta Lime Mrs Dash
Turn the broiler in your oven on (to high if you have settings) and place a rack 4-6 inches from the heat.
Season the pork chops liberally with the Mrs Dash on both sides and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
Broil for 6 minutes on one side, then flip the chops and broil for another 4 minutes, or until cooked through and browned on both sides – each broiler is a little different, so keep an eye on the chops.
Serve hot.
