These Pork Chops with Mango Salsa are juicy and full of flavor. Mango salsa pairs perfectly with pork for a quick and easy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Mango Salsa

  • 1 mango, peeled, cored and diced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 jalapeño, seeds and membranes removed, minced
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • sea salt, to taste

For the Pork Chops

  • 4 thin bone-in pork chops, about 1 pound
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • pinch of cayenne (optional)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mango salsa by tossing all the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Set aside
  2. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season the pork chops with garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour and shake off any excess.
