Spiced Pork Chops & Tomato Quinoa Salad

• While quinoa cooks, wash and dry produce. • Zest and quarter lime. Finely chop cilantro. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.

• Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with half the Mexican Spice Blend (all for 4 servings), a big pinch of salt, and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.

• While pork cooks, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, half the lime zest, and salt. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. • In a separate small bowl, combine cilantro, scallion whites, 1 tsp olive oil (2 tsp for 4 servings), juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4), and as much remaining lime zest as you like. Season generously with salt and pepper. Taste and add more lime juice if desired.

• Stir tomato, scallion greens, pepitas, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings), juice from two lime wedges (four lime wedges for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper into bowl with quinoa.
