Ingredients
3 thin center-cut boneless pork chops (about 9 oz total)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Mix together the lime juice, canola oil, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl.
Brush both sides of each pork chop with the lime marinade, allowing the flavors to coat evenly.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the pork chops on the grill.
Grill the pork chops for 5–6 minutes on the first side, then flip and grill for another 4–5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F at the thickest part. The pork should be lightly browned and cooked through.
Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 2–3 minutes. Serve with black bean salad of your choice.
Comments
This recipe is missing black beans entirely—the title promises a salad, but the ingredient list omits them and any vegetables, which means you'll need a second shopping trip or improvisation at home. The stated 30 minutes assumes you have pantry staples on hand, but account for 10 more minutes if you're cooking beans from scratch or opening a can; this is really a 40-minute weeknight if you're starting from zero. That said, pork chops are a staple at every Charlotte chain, lime and garlic powder are standard, and the dish suits a quick family dinner for two if you add your own black beans and a raw or quick-cooked salad base—cilantro, tomato, onion, or avocado would all be natural partners here.
