1 red onion, diced
1 tbsp (15 mL) lime juice
1/4 cup (60 mL) cilantro
1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil

Cutlets:

1 lb (500 g) pork leg or pork sirloin cutlets

1/4 tsp (1 mL) each cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper

Directions

In medium bowl, stir together avocado, tomato, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, canola oil, salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat BBQ to medium-high heat. Using a meat mallet, pound cutlets to about 1/4” thickness.
In small bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

Place the cutlets directly on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes on each side. Serve topped with the avocado salsa and a small dollop of sour cream (optional).
