Smokey Pork Chops

• 4 boneless pork chops, about 2 lbs.
• 1 tsp chipotle chile powder
• 1 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 2 T avocado oil
• 1-13oz can full-fat coconut milk
• 1 tsp liquid smoke
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/4 C cilantro, roughly chopped

‍

1. In a small bowl combine the chipotle powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Coat both sides of the pork chops with the spice mix. If you have extra, save it and you will add it to the sauce.
2. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, add the avocado oil. Once the pan is hot, place the pork chops in the pan to sear. Sear both sides and remove the pork chops from the pan. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
3. Place the pan back on the stove and reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the pork chops back to the pan along with the coconut milk, liquid smoke, lime juice, and any extra of the spice mix you may have remaining.
4. Simmer the ingredients for 5-7 minutes, just until the sauce starts to thicken up. If you simmer for too long the sauce will break. Add the cilantro to the pan and serve.
