Description
Tex-Mex Pork Chops and Rice Skillet is a mouthwatering one-pan dish that combines juicy pork chops with flavorful Tex-Mex-inspired rice for a satisfying and delicious meal.
To prepare Tex-Mex Pork Chops and Rice Skillet, start by seasoning thick-cut pork chops with a blend of Tex-Mex spices, such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Allow the pork chops to marinate for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, sauté diced onions, bell peppers, and garlic in olive oil until softened and fragrant. Add long-grain rice to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is lightly toasted and golden brown.
Next, pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and a can of black beans (drained and rinsed). Stir to combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once the rice mixture is simmering, nestle the seasoned pork chops into the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the liquid. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer gently over medium-low heat until the pork chops are cooked through and the rice is tender, usually about 20-25 minutes.
During the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheese over the pork chops and rice mixture, allowing it to melt and become gooey and delicious.
To serve, garnish the Tex-Mex Pork Chops and Rice Skillet with freshly chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness and flavor. Serve hot, straight from the skillet, for a satisfying and hearty meal that’s sure to please the whole family.
Tex-Mex Pork Chops and Rice Skillet is a flavorful and convenient dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings with friends. With its bold Tex-Mex flavors and easy preparation, this skillet meal is sure to become a favorite in your dinner rotation.
