For a richer flavor, consider searing the pork chops in a cast-iron skillet. Adjust the amount of Hatch green chilis to your preferred level of spiciness. Serve with lime cilantro rice and black beans for a complete Southwestern meal. A dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema can add a cooling element to the dish.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine cumin, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, garlic, and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture generously over both sides of the chops, pressing gently to adhere. (5 minutes)
02
Step
6 mins
Heat avocado oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the seasoned pork chops and sear for about 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside to keep warm. (6 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. (5 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Stir in all-purpose flour, ensuring it's fully incorporated into the butter and oil. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is bubbly and slightly golden, creating a roux. (3 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Gradually pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add Hatch green chilis and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. (5 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chops are cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (5 minutes)
07
Step
2 mins
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the skillet just before serving. Garnish with crumbled Cotija cheese and fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately. (2 minutes)

Jun 15, 2025I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe, as I'm not a big fan of spicy food. However, the Hatch green chilis added just the right amount of heat. I will definitely be making this again!
