Ingredients
-
4 bone-in pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
-
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
-
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
-
2 tablespoons avocado oil, or other high temperature oil
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
1/2 cup chopped onion
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
3/4 cup chicken broth
-
1 (4 ounce) can chopped Hatch green chiles - mild, medium, or hot
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1/2 lime
-
2 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese
-
fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Directions
-
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.
-
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.
-
For sauce, melt butter in the same skillet, stirring up any browned bits. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes.
-
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.
-
Add Hatch chiles and minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
-
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 degrees F (63 degrees C).
-
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the skillet just before serving. Serve with cheese crumbles and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
