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.

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.
