Chile Dusted Pork Chops with Strawberries

This post is also available in / Esta entrada también está disponible en ESPAÑOL (SPANISH)

I saw this recipe on a magazine I subscribe to, and thought it looked like a delicious combination of flavors… It was!  The tanginess from the strawberries, mixed with the sugar and the chiles gives these pork chops a really different taste than what we are used to. I thought they were very good and my husband really enjoyed them.

This is a quick meal to prepare and you will not sacrifice in flavor or presentation with it.
