Step 1
Start by slicing the pork chops into strips and seasoning them with pepper, garlic powder, and seasoning salt. Give the meat a good squeeze of fresh lime juice to brighten it up. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add some fat, and swirl it around to coat the pan. Take out any extra fat, then add the seasoned pork strips. Cook them, stirring occasionally, until they’re nicely browned—this should take about 5 minutes.

Step 2
While the meat is cooking, whip up the green sauce. Toss the tomatillos, tomato, jalapenos, and dried chilies into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let everything cook until the veggies are tender. Drain off any extra liquid, then transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add garlic and a pinch of salt, then blend until smooth.

Step 3
Pour the sauce over the browned pork in the skillet, lower the heat, and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes. This helps all the flavors come together. Give it a taste at the end and add more salt or pepper if you think it needs it. Serve and enjoy!
