Directions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Place the cobs of corn directly on the grill plates to give them a little char.  Rotate about every 1-2 minutes or until golden brown on all sides.  Remove from the grill and cut the corn off the cobs and let cool
3. In a small bowl, combine the remaining street corn salad ingredients.  Stir in the corn and set aside until the pork chops are ready.
4. In a small bowl, combine the pork chop seasoning ingredients and stir until combined.
5. Sprinkle the mixture onto the pork chops, making sure to get both sides coated.
6. Place the pork chops on the grill and let cook for 4-5 minutes.
7. Flip the pork chops 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145F.
8. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.  Serve each pork chop with a large spoonful of the street corn salad and additional cheese, if desired!
