🥄 Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-1.5 lbs total)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

• 5 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Line a large cutting board with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Lay pork chops on top in a single layer, and then cover with another piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper.

2. 2

   Using a meat mallet or a heavy skillet (cast iron works best), pound each pork chop to about 1/4-inch thickness.

3. 3

   Season with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare 3 shallow bowls - the first with the flour, the second with the eggs, and the third with the panko breadcrumbs.

5. 5

   To the breadcrumbs, add the garlic powder, chili powder, ground coriander, paprika, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Mix together to combine.

6. 6

   Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

7. 7

   Working in 2 batches, dredge two cutlets in flour, then dip in egg, and then into the seasoned panko breadcrumbs.

8. 8

   Sauté the cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and transfer to a plate.

9. 9

   Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and repeat the same steps with the remaining 2 cutlets.

10. 10

    Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
