Ww Southwestern Pork Chops - 4 Pts.

TeresaS's Note:

Out of an old 1998 WW cookbook called "15 Minute Cookbook" I have this marked as "great". If you don't care for the strong lemon like flavor of cilantro you can substitute parsley if you prefer. This is great served with black beans, pineapple wedges and fresh strawberries. Hope you enjoy!

I liked the zing of lime in this dish - very fresh tasting. I made 1.5 times the recipe and will freeze a couple of the chops for meals for my DFIL. I did have to cook the chops for 15 to 20 minutes and used parsley - we have a no cilantro house! LOL! Made for PRMR tag. Thanks TeresaS! :)

Easy and yummy! I can't believe it's even a recipe considering how simple it is! I didn't have any lime juice, so used lemon instead and omitted the cilantro/parsley. It still turned out great. Thanks for sharing!

Nice receipe. since i don't like pork, i used turkey steaks instead. The only other change i made was to put a slice of cheese (i know now ww ;) on top of mine.
