Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds pork loin cut into 3/4-inch chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle chile in adobo sauce canned, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt or to taste

Method

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix to form a rub. Set aside.
  • Season pork with Mexican Adobo rub, making sure pork is well coated with the mixture. Heat olive oil in frying pan and sear the pork chops on both sides, approximately 6 minutes on each side. Cook pork to an internal temperature between 145 degrees F. to 160 degrees F. (use a digital thermometer). Remove pork from the frying pan and let rest 10-15 minutes before slicing into 1/4 inch strips.
