- 1.5 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp ground chipotle pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 700 g natural boneless pork cutlets, 2.5 cm thick (center cut)
- 1 tbsp olive oil + extra for greasing grill grates
- Juice of 1 lime
Corn and mushrooms
- 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 220 g shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 4 ears of fresh corn, kernels removed
- 1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced

Toppings
- Chopped cilantro, guacamole, pickled jalapeño rings, lime wedges, shredded Pepper Jack cheese, salsa, sliced green onions, sour cream
Preparation:
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, chipotle powder, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Combine the pork in a container with the oil and lime juice, then rub with the spice mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before roasting.
- Corn and mushrooms:
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Add the butter, cumin, corn kernels, poblanos, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the corn is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the green onions and lime juice, and season with salt to taste. Set aside.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly brush the grill grate with olive oil. Grill the pork chops until cooked through and charred, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 10 minutes, and then slice thinly.
- Serve the pork with warm tortillas, mushroom corn, chopped cilantro, guacamole, pickled jalapeños, lime wedges, shredded cheese, salsa, chopped green onions, and sour cream.
