How to Make Hacienda Pork Chops Grande

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the spice mixture over them, ensuring both sides are coated.
  4. Let the pork chops marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Top with your favorite taco toppings, such as shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro, and diced onions.
