Mexican Pork Chops

So as anyone can tell Mexican type foods are quite popular in this house. I saw a recipe similar to this on-line awhile ago, and decided since I had the day off school and my GA that would be the perfect time to make it. Not to mention I had everything on hand. It is a super easy meal, just throw it together and bake for 40 min. then you are eating. It wasn't very spicy but we enjoyed it, and ate more than we should have.

Mexican Pork Chops
Pork Chops (2-4)
Taco seasoning or chili powder to sprinkle on pork chops

1 can of red kidney beans (drained)
1/2 cup uncooked rice (minute rice works)
1 4oz. can of green chilies drained
1/3 cup of water

1. Rub the spices on the pork chop then brown the pork chops in a skillet for about 5 minutes on each side. Preheat oven 350F.

2. Mix the tomatoes, corn, beans, rice, water and green chilies together and pour into a casserole dish.
