Chuleta de Puerco, or pork chop, is a popular dish rooted in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines. Typically, the pork chop is seasoned with a blend of spices such as garlic, cumin, oregano, and paprika, then marinated in citrus juices like lime or orange for enhanced flavor and tenderness. While traditionally grilled, baked, or pan-fried, preparation methods vary, allowing for adjustments in healthiness. Pork chops are an excellent source of protein, essential B vitamins such as B6 and B12, and minerals like zinc and selenium. However, their fat content, particularly saturated fat, can vary depending on the cut and preparation. Opting for lean cuts and grilling or baking instead of frying can reduce unhealthy fats. Pairing Chuleta de Puerco with wholesome side dishes like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad can create a balanced and flavorful meal.
