Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Lay out four 12-by-18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Whisk the barbecue sauce and hot pepper jelly in a small bowl. Remove 1/3 cup of the sauce to a separate bowl and brush all over the pork chops; reserve the remaining sauce.
- Mix the lima beans, corn, hominy, scallion whites, thyme and melted butter in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

- Grill the packets pork-side down, 6 minutes. Flip and cook 2 more minutes. Meanwhile, heat the reserved sauce in a small saucepan or in the microwave.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Tear 4 large pieces of aluminum foil, each about 14 inches long. Spray each lightly with cooking spray.
- Mix condensed soup, onion soup mix, and pepper together in a small bowl until well blended.
- Dividing ingredients evenly, place some sliced potatoes on the center of each piece of foil, followed by a pork chop, carrots, mushrooms, green beans, and the condensed soup mixture. Fold the packets by bringing the 2 long ends of foil together and folding over twice to make a seal. Seal the short ends by folding each end over 2 to 3 times; this allows the meat and vegetables to steam. Place the packets on a large cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chops are no longer pink in the center and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Allow packets to sit for 5 minutes before opening.

Steps:
- In a small bowl mix together chili powder, oregano, cumin, and garlic powder.
- Place tenderloins or chops on a large platter. Rub the dry mixture over the pork, cover and refrigerate for 2-24 hours.
- Grill the pork over medium coals or this can also be broiled. Turn occasionally. Tenderloins will take approximately 25-30 minutes and pork chops will be done in approximately 10-15 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 155-160 degrees and there should also be a hint of pink in the center.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start grilling, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your pork foil packs cook evenly.
- Choose the Right Pork: For this recipe, it's best to use a lean cut of pork, such as pork tenderloin or pork loin. These cuts will cook quickly and evenly in the foil packs.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your pork with plenty of spices and herbs. This will help to infuse the pork with flavor and make it even more delicious.
- Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will add color, flavor, and texture to your foil packs. Choose vegetables that cook quickly, such as zucchini, bell peppers, and onions.
- Don't Overcrowd the Foil Packs: It's important to not overcrowd the foil packs, or the pork and vegetables will not cook evenly. Aim for about 1 pound of pork and 1 cup of vegetables per foil pack.
- Seal the Foil Packs Tightly: Make sure to seal the foil packs tightly before grilling. This will help to keep the juices and flavors inside the packs.
- Grill Over Medium Heat: Grill the foil packs over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Conclusion:
Grilled Southwestern Pork Foil Packs are a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy a flavorful meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your foil packs come out perfect every time. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
