How to Make Baked Tex Mex Loin Chops

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons plain yogurt and 1 tablespoon chili powder.
  2. Brush the yogurt mixture evenly over both sides of 4 loin chops (about 1 inch thick).
  3. Crush 1 cup of tortilla chips into coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the chip crumbs firmly onto both sides of the yogurt-coated chops.
  5. Arrange the chops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Lightly spray the chops with cooking spray.
  7. Bake on the bottom rack of a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, flipping the chops halfway through.
  8. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness (optional).
