Tex-Mex Pork Chops and Rice Skillet
Brown some chops, then add vegetables, broth and rice. This dinner only needs one skillet, a knife, a cutting board, some measuring cups and spoons, a can opener, and a mixing and serving spoon. We like this with simple quesadillas and a salad. Add some avocado slices, if you like!
