Scale
For the Pork Chops:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp chili powder (ground ancho or your favorite style)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
For the Salsa:
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small jalapeno, diced
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lime juice, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry on both sides with paper towels. Combine all of the spices for the dry rub in a small bowl, and coat the meat with the mixture on both sides. Place in a shallow baking dish without overlapping and set aside in the refrigerator or on the countertop for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat the grill, and oil the grates if necessary, to prevent sticking.
- Combine all of the salsa ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and adjust seasoning to taste. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Grill the meat until it is cooked through to an internal temperature of at least 145°F, about 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the chops.
- Serve pork chops topped with salsa.
