This is a fiery version of a traditional pork and beans dinner. Boneless butterflied pork chops can be found in the meat section of most markets. If they are unavailable, buy boneless loin chops about 1 inch thick and slice them nearly in half horizontally, leaving one edge intact. Open the chops like a book and flatten. The meat will be about { inch thick. They will take only about 5 minutes to cook.
Cracked black pepper can be found in the spice section of your market. It adds a lot of fire to the chops. If you really like it hot, add another teaspoon to the marinade. Have plenty of cool drinks on hand if you do.
Helpful Hints:
_ Use the same skillet to cook the pork and then the beans.
