Combine the Mexican marinade ingredients together inside a small baking dish or a zipper-topped bag and then add in your pork chops. Set it aside and let them rest for at least 4 hours.

What type of pork chop should you use?

Pork chops have many different cuts you can choose from including:

  • Rib Chop
  • Center-Cut Loin Chop
  • Loin Chop
  • Sirloin Chop
  • Boneless Loin Chop
  • Shoulder Chop

The type of pork chop that you choose for this Mexican pork chop recipe is up to you. Using different cuts can make the cooking time vary, so just make sure to keep an eye on the pork chop temperature as you are cooking them so you know when they are finished.

How to cook Pork Chops

After you have followed the Mexican pork chop recipe and your chops have been marinating for at least 4 hours, you can start cooking them. Heat up your olive oil in a skillet set to medium heat on your stove. You’ll know that the pan is ready to use when you can hear or see the oil sizzling in the pan.

Placing your pork chops in the pan before it’s fully heated can cause your chops to dry out before they finish cooking. We definitely don’t want that! You’ve waited hours to taste these amazing pork chops, taking an extra 2 minutes to make sure your pan is ready is worth it.

When you pan is ready, gently place your pork chops down being careful not to splatter any oil towards yourself. A helpful trick is to angle them away from you as you are placing them in your hot skillet.

Let them cook for about 4 minutes on each side. When your pork chop temperature reaches 150ºF on an instant-read thermometer, you know they’re ready to eat.
