2 small mangoes. Cut in 1/2 inch cubes

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

1/2 small jalapeño seeded finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Pork chops

2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder

2 teaspoons light brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

4 bone in center cut pork chops 1 inch thick

1 tablespoon canola oil

Directions

To make mango salsa, in a medium bowl combine mango, pepper, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro and salt. Stir to coat and combine well. Let the salsa sit so the favors can develop while you prepare the pork chops.
In a small bowl combine the chipotle chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Sprinkle this all over the pork chops, pressing the spice rub in with fingers.
In a large skillet heat the canola oil over medium high heat. Add the pork and cook, covered without moving them, until a dark golden crust forms on the bottom of each, 2-3 minutes. Flip the chops and cook covered, 2-3 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat,flip the chops again and let rest, covered in the pan for 2 minutes. Remove from the pan, tent with foil, and let rest for 3 minutes.
Serve the pork chops with the mango salsa alongside.
