This refreshing pineapple salsa tames the punch of the chipotle chili powder. The salsa is also a good accompaniment to grilled fish.

What You'll Need

  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 (1-inch-thick) boneless center-cut loin pork chops
  • 1 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

What to Do

  1. Combine chili powder, cinnamon, salt, and 2 teaspoons oil; stir to make a paste. Rub paste over pork chops; let stand while making salsa.

  2. Combine pineapple and remaining 4 ingredients; toss well, and set aside.

  3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chops, and cook 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until done. Serve chops with salsa.
