Ingredients

  • 6 pork chops bone-in
  • 2 tbsp adobo or any all-purpose seasoning salt
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 twist black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 white onion large, chopped
  • 20 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  • Blend spices in a bowl and generously season both sides of chops.
  • Add canola oil to a pan on medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add pork chops—in batches if you need to, so as not to crowd.
  • Brown the pork chops, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  • Add the onions, stirring them on and around the pork chops. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the tomato sauce and sugar. Stir, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, on medium heat.
  • Serve with warm corn tortillas, freshly sliced avocado, black beans, Mexican rice, hot sauce and your favorite salsa.
