• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, basil, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika or cayenne pepper. Set aside.

Put raw pork chops on a plate; pour lemon juice over chops then rub with the spice mix on both sides.

Add oil to a medium-sized skillet, then cook pork chops over medium-high heat for a few minutes on each side until meat is lightly browned. Once pork chops are browned, remove excess oil.

Pour green chili peppers and tomato sauce over pork chops. Cover and continue cooking for at least five minutes. Let stand before serving.
