By Lv2Cook

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 (6-ounce) lean center-cut pork chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 (16-ounce) package frozen whole-kernel corn thawed
• 1 1/2 cups chopped red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapeño pepper
• 4 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes drained
• Parsley sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine first 4 ingredients; stir well. Rub cumin mixture over both sides of chops.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add pork chops; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Add remaining ingredients (except parsley), scraping pan to loosen browned bits.

Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes or until pork is tender. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired.
