Crispy Cornmeal-Crusted Pork Chops Recipe With Creamy Avocado Sauce by Donna John
Pork chops are one of my favorite things to make for dinner. There's nothing like a crispy pork chop on your plate. This pork chop recipe is seasoned with Mexican spices, fried until crispy then topped with a creamy avocado sauce. Delicious!
The ingredient list is not long at all for this crispy pan-fried pork chop recipe. Here is your short shopping list: pork chops (bone-in or boneless), chili powder, ground cumin, ground cayenne, flour, cornmeal, an egg, cooking oil, a lime, mayonnaise, an avocado and fresh garlic.
Serve these pork chops for dinner with your favorite side dishes. I like to have a vegetable and a salad on the side.

Recipe Notes
- You can use bone-in or boneless pork chops for this recipe.
- Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops.
- Sprinkle with a little more chili powder when serving, if desired.
- Use whatever cooking oil you like to pan fry with. I used olive oil.
- I was cooking for two so only cooked two pork chops.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the avocado, lime juice, chili powder, garlic and mayonnaise into a blender or small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Combine the 1 teaspoon chili powder, cumin and cayenne in a small bowl.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the chili powder mixture all over both sides of the chops.
- Beat the egg in a bowl. Stir together the cornmeal and flour on a plate. Dredge the pork chops in the flour, then dip into the egg, then back into the flour.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet. Add the pork chops and cook over medium heat until golden on one side.
- Flip the chops over and continue to cook until cooked through.
- Put the pork chops onto serving plates and spoon some of the avocado sauce over the top.
