Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 2 cups Doritos, crushed (any flavor you prefer)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the crushed Doritos with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In another dish, whisk together the flour. In a third dish, mix the eggs and milk until well combined.
- Dredge the Pork Chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Dredge each chop in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the Doritos mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
- Cook the Pork Chops: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a thin layer of cooking spray or vegetable oil. Once hot, add the pork chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chops tender and flavorful. Serve with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal. Enjoy the crunchy, cheesy exterior and tender, juicy interior of these Doritos Pork Chops!
