Easy Mexican Pork Chop Dinner

Well, after an extremely extended absence I have returned... hee hee. I'm not sure anyone noticed I was gone except Hillary but that's ok. I'm glad she's got so many recipes that she can just keep on truckin'. Now... on with the show.

The other night I had pork chops to make for dinner but I was very tired of the same old recipes so I went searching online. I found this recipe at www.grouprecipes.com. I am definitely going to look at this site more. This recipe was very simple and easy and it turned out wonderfully. I have never, and I mean never, had more tender pork chops! I also did not have any green chilies but it was still great!
