Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: For this recipe, bone-in pork chops with a thickness of 1 to 1 1/2 inches are recommended. This ensures that the chops stay moist and juicy during cooking.
  • Make sure the chops are evenly cooked: To achieve even cooking, pound the chops to an even thickness before cooking. This helps them cook evenly throughout.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is packed with flavor from ingredients like chili powder, cumin, garlic, and lime juice. This helps infuse the chops with flavor and makes them extra delicious.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chops, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming steamed instead of seared.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: After cooking, let the chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in juicier and more tender chops.

Conclusion:

This Pork Chops Santa Fe recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of flavorful marinade, seared chops, and creamy sauce creates a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
