A flavorful and easy-to-make pork chop recipe with a zesty twist.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, oregano, cumin, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Ensure the pork chops are dry before applying the rub for better adhesion.
Cover the pork chops and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
For deeper flavor, marinate the pork chops for up to 2 hours.
Preheat the broiler to high heat.
Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler for optimal cooking.
Place the pork chops on a broiler pan and broil for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serve the pork chops immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
Squeeze the lime over the pork chops just before eating for a burst of freshness.
