Grilled Pork Chops with Nectarine Salsa

I have been cooking a lot more lately with my open summer days. Here is one I made tonight that is one of our favorites and very easy! It is adapted from a recipe on allrecipes.com


INGREDIENTS

Salsa:

• 2-3 nectarines, pitted and diced
• 1 ripe tomato, seeded and diced
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 1 jalapeno
  
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
• optional - 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
  
• salt to taste

Pork Chop;

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4(4 ounce) boneless pork loin chops

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grate.
• To make the salsa, place the nectarines, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in a bowl; toss to blend. Season to taste with salt. Cover, and refrigerate 30 minutes to blend flavors.
• Stir the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Place the olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the pork chops with oil, and season both sides evenly with the cumin mixture.
• Place pork loin chops on the preheated grill. Cook until lightly browned and juices run clear, about 4 minutes on each side - DO NOT overcook!
  
• Place pork chops on serving plates, and top with a generous spoonful of salsa.
