Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat a grill or large grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, season the pork chops with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Add 1/4 cup enchilada sauce, chili powder, and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Rub all over the pork and let it sit at room temperature. In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced ​​red onion with the lime juice and a pinch of salt; set aside.

  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chopped red onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cilantro stems and the remaining 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce and cook, stirring, until completely dry, 2 minutes. Add the beans with their liquid and 1/2 cup water; bring to a simmer. Using a spoon, mash about one-third of the beans against the side of the pan. Cook until the sauce coats the beans, 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, lightly grill the tortillas in a grill pan, about 1 minute per side. Stack them and wrap them in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
  5. Lightly coat a grill pan with olive oil. Grill the pork chops until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Divide the pork chops, beans, tortillas, and avocado among plates. Season the avocado with salt and pepper. Toss the cilantro leaves with thinly sliced ​​red onion, then add to the plates.
