This recipe is a fun and simple way to give pork chops south-of-the-border flair. The flavorful seasoning, rice and melted cheddar cheese makes this dish a crowd-pleaser. A dear friend shared this recipe with me several years ago. -Laura Turner, Channelview, Texas

What an easy dish! I tossed in extra chopped bell pepper and some chopped onion with the rice. Might want to season up those chops some more if you like spicy but these were great for us. This is a saver for sure!

This recipe is really good just the way it is... A simple cheap low ingredient meal.. Sure you can spend more money and add ingredients but that would beat the point...

I've fixed this recipe many, many times over the years with rave reviews. I've used chicken, hamburger patties and steaks with the same tasty results. I have also fixed just the rice as a tasty side dish. It is so easy to prepare.

Great way to make pork chops. Came together quickly. Used taco shredded cheese and used chopped poblano peppers instead of green peppers.

So easy and fabulous taste! There are just two of us, so we had two meals from this. I cut my pork chops by slicing a pork loin to the thickness we like. Cheaper than buying pork chops.

It's an OK recipe. The flavor is one dimentional. Additional ingredients such as green chile and some spices would make it better.

This is one of my family's favorite ways to enjoy pork chops. I've substituted brown rice and it is still very good. This recipe is also very easy to make.
