In a medium bowl combine black beans, salsa, chiles, cilantro, chili powder and pepper. Set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush chops lightly with oil and brown on each side; remove chops. Add bean mixture to skillet; bring to boiling. Return chops to skillet; cover tightly and cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes or until chops are just done. Serve chops with bean mixture, with sour cream if desired.
Notes: Alternative: Use hot salsa, hot sauce, or finely chopped jalapeños for a spicier salad.
