Preparation
1
Make bulgur

  • Add 2/3 cup (1 cup) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, stir in bulgur until water returns to a boil. Cover and remove from heat.
  • Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16-18 min. 

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, core, then cut hot pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping hot peppers!)
  • Cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop cilantro. 
  • Zest, then juice lime. 
  • Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, then cut into 1/4-inch slices.

3
Char hot peppers

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. 
  • When hot, add peppers to the dry pan. Cover and cook, flipping the pieces halfway through, until dark golden, 4-5 min.
  • Transfer peppers to a medium bowl. 

4
Prep and cook pork chops

  • Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan (used in step 3), then pork. Pan-fry until golden and cooked through, 3-4 min.**  (NOTE: Cook pork in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.)
  • Remove the pan from heat.
  • Add Tex-Mex paste, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Cook, stirring often, until pork is coated, 1 min. 
  • Remove the pan from heat. 

5
Make salsa

  • Meanwhile, add tomatoes, lime juice and half the cilantro to the bowl with peppers. 
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. 

6
Finish and serve

  • Fluff bulgur with a fork. Stir in remaining cilantro.
  • Add sour cream and lime zest to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. 
  • Divide bulgur between bowls. 
  • Top with pork, then salsa and lime crema.
  • Sprinkle with feta.
