Provided by Lynn Socko

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

**boneless thick cut pork chops
**jalapeno cheese bread crumbs
**olive oil
**mrs. dash southwest and chipotle seasoning
asadero cheese, or your fav mexican cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Slice cheese into strips.
  • 2. Make a slit down into the middle of your pork chop, don't cut all the way through. Stuff slices of cheese into slit.
  • 3. Using toothpicks, try to close up slit as much as possible to prevent cheese from oozing out too badly.
  • 4. Drizzle baking sheet and chops with olive oil, rub chops on both sides and season both sides with Mrs.Dash Southwest and chipotle seasoning.
  • 5. Lay in bread crumbs and pat both sides. NOTE: most bakery's sell jalapeno cheese bread, but I make my own. Put pop it into food processor and turn into crumbs. The cheese in the bread helps make it more moist.
  • 6. Place on oiled baking sheet and spray top of chops with spray oil.
  • 7. Bake at 350° for 1 hr.
