SALSA PORK CHOPS

6 boneless pork loin chops (6-oz each)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh or frozen whole-kernel corn
1 can (15-oz) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/4 cups chunky salsa
2 tbsp water
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the pork chops.

Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the chops and brown on both sides.

Add the corn, beans, salsa, water and cumin to the skillet; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 8 to 10 minutes until chops are cooked through or meat thermometer reads at least 145 degrees.

Allow chops to stand 5 minutes before serving.

To serve, place chops on platter, spoon salsa over chops and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro.

KRAFT'S EASY TACO SALAD

This is a quick and easy recipe I received from Kraft Foods a few years ago.

1 lb ground beef
1/3 of pkg (12-oz size) Kraft Sizzling Salads Southwest Chicken Dinner Kit
6 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup finely shredded Mexican-style cheese

Brown meat in large skillet; drain. Add 1/4 cup KRAFT SIZZLING SALADS Zesty Fajita Cooking Sauce; cook and stir on low heat 1 min. or until meat is evenly coated.

Place greens on platter; top with meat, tomatoes and cheese. Drizzle with 1/4 cup KRAFT SIZZLING SALADS Barbecue Ranch Dressing. Serve with additional 1/4 cup dressing.

Note: Both the KRAFT SIZZLING SALADS Cooking Sauce and Dressing are components of the KRAFT SIZZLING SALADS Entree Salad Kit. Look for the kit in the salad dressing section of your grocery store.
