Expert Tips

No cumin seed? Use 1 teaspoon ground cumin.

Round out these flavor-packed pork chops with corn on the cob and cooked rice tossed with black beans.

The Cuban Rub is also delicious on chicken breasts.

This was yummmy! What a great way to break in the grilling season. (even though we grill year round!) I love the the lime and cumin flavor. I used a lime and cracked pepper seasoning and mixed everything till it smelled to my liking. Then took the sites advice and grilled corn and took some leftover rice and mixed it with a can of black beans and a can of rotel. I also grilled pineapple for desert.

I was surprised I didn't enjoy this recipe as I thought I would've. The cumin leaves a weird after taste. Wasn't our cup of tea. Don't think I'll try this one again.

This recipe was yummy, but I have to agree with one user that the lime is a little too much for me so I just omit it completely. It's really tasty and the chops come out nice and juicy.
