Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the pork: Cut each pork chop into 3 equally sized pieces. One at a time, place pork pieces between 2 sheets of waxed paper and, using a meat mallet, pound them to 1/8-inch thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, and pepper. Dust both sides of each pork piece with the mixture and shake off excess.
Cook the pork: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking. Add pork and fry until a crisp golden crust forms -- about 2 minutes on each side.
Make the honey-mustard spread: In a small bowl, stir to combine mustard, honey, cayenne, and pepper flakes until well blended.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place one piece of pork on the bottom half of each bun, spread 1 teaspoon of the mustard mixture over the pork, and repeat with 2 more pieces of pork for each sandwich. Add lettuce. Spread mayonnaise on each top bun, cover sandwich, and serve immediately.
