Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry and rub both sides generously with taco seasoning. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the chops in the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. I like to let them rest a moment before plating so the juices redistribute. Serve each chop with a spoonful of fresh salsa, and I often add a wedge of lime on the side for a bright finish.
Chef's Tip
I always let the seasoned chops sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking—this helps them cook evenly and stay juicy.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water to maintain moisture.
Variation Tips
Serve with cauliflower rice or a side of sautéed peppers and onions for extra fiber. Swap the salsa for guacamole or a dollop of sour cream.
