Notes
The hot pepper is optional. I threw it in because I had one from the garden. It did give a boost of spicy heat.
If you need to add in a couple of more pork chops, go ahead. There is plenty of the vegetable mix.
Special thanks to Carlos for sharing this recipe with me and the memories of his mother, Yolanda.
