| 4 ounces Boneless pork chops (1 4-ounce chop) |
| 1/8 tsp.. Ground cumin |
| 1/8 tsp. Salt |
| 1 spray Spray olive oil |
| 2 Tbsp Avocados, raw (mashed) |

Instructions
While the pan is heating lightly dust one side of the pork chop with half of the cumin and salt.
When hot spray the pan lightly with oil and place the pork chop in the pan seasoned side down. Sprinkle the top with the other half of the cumin and salt.
Return the pan to the oven and cook for about 8 - 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and turn the pork chop over. Spread the seared side with the avocado and return the pan to the oven.
*** This recipe is great on the grill also. Use a medium-high setting and place the pork on the grill seasoned side down. Follow the rest of the directions just as for oven grilling. ***
Cook for another 8 - 10 minutes until the pork is done (it will be slightly firm to the touch).
Remove and serve over Jalapeno Mashed Potatoes with Tomatillo Salsa on the side. Garnish with the fresh cilantro.

Recipe Notes
Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best. This pork will work well over Jalapeno Mashed Potatoes or Dirty Rice. The combination of the spicy side dishes and salsa with the cool avocado flavor works well together. There’s great monounsaturated fats in both the pork and avocado too.
