Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, stir together chili powder, salt, cumin, coriander, and all pepper.

Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle spice mixture all over pork chops.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork, and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 145º, 12 to 15 minutes before serving.

Garnish with parsley, if desired.
