Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops, ½ to ¾ inch thick, or cut from a loin
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup salsa, Shortcut
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

In large heavy skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Brown chops quickly, about 2 minutes per side. Lower heat and add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer 8 minutes, until internal temperature is 71° C / 160° F, followed by a 3 minute rest time.
Serve with sides of your choice.

Notes

Pork loin will cost about 125 Baht/kilo. I don't think for 4 thick slices would be a kilo, but just using that number, for 4 servings this is about 92 cents per serving. I have only seen pork chops in specialty chops and they are pricey. Going with just a loin that you cut yourself, money saver.

Shortcut: Salsa.
