Santa Fe Schnitzel

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless pork loin, sliced into 4 equal pieces
• 1 (7 ounce) can whole green chiles
• 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs

Instructions

1. Pound each loin slice to 1/8 inch thickness.
2. Rinse chiles and pat dry. Place one chile and one slice of cheese on one-half of each thin cutlet. Fold other half over, creating an "envelope." Press edges firmly together.
3. In a shallow dish, mix together bread crumbs and seasoning mix.
4. Coat each cutlet with flour, dip into egg, and coat with crumb-seasoning mixture.
5. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat.
6. Cook cutlets 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown.
7. If desired, serve with a dollop of sour cream.
