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.

STUFFED PORK CHOPS I
I got this recipe from a friend and it is awesome! When I want comfort food, this is the one that I turn to. My husband loves it too! We love the stuffing so much I usually double the recipe for the bread crumb mixture, leave everything else the same. For the bread cubes, French bread works best, not sourdough.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Tips:
- Tenderize the pork chops: Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to pound the pork chops until they are about 1/4-inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Use a flavorful stuffing: The stuffing is what really makes these pork chops special. Be sure to use a stuffing that is packed with flavor, such as the Tex-Mex stuffing in this recipe.
- Cook the pork chops until they are cooked through: The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit when they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops before removing them from the oven.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork chop.
Conclusion:
Tex-Mex stuffed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The pork chops are stuffed with a flavorful Tex-Mex stuffing and then baked until cooked through. The result is a tender and juicy pork chop that is packed with flavor. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.
