Preparation

Step 1

Place pork chops between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using meat mallet or rolling pin. Combine cheese and breadcrumbs. Dip pork chops in milk, and dredge in breadcrumb mixture.

Brown chops in 1 tablespoon hot oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 3 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet.

Cook garlic and onion in remaining 1 tablespoon hot oil in skillet, stirring constantly, until tender. Stir in corn and cilantro. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.

Top with pork, and drizzle with lime juice. Cover and cook over medium heat 7 minutes or until pork is done.
