About

With its festive flavors, this could quickly become a weeknight favorite at your house, transforming even a mundane Monday or a tiresome Tuesday into a fiesta that feels like Friday. Quick-browned pork chops are simmered in a sauce bursting with south of the border flavors: chiles, lime juice, cilantro, and the tasty trinity of chili powder, cumin, and oregano. This party in your mouth is piquant enough to please adults and mild enough for little amigos.
