Speedy Blackened Salsa Skillet Pork Chops

Submitted by PSU_Lioness

"I came up with this recipe one night after I realized that I forgot to start dinner in the crock pot that morning. The blackened seasoning gives an extra kick to plain old salsa pork chops and the corn and black beans add some bulk to the meal. We usually serve it over rice to round out our dinner. You can also cook the chops on a lower temperature to give them time to soak up all of the flavors."
