Pumpkin Chipotle Sauce: In a medium-size pan, combine pumpkin, chipotle, salsa, Parmesan and nutmeg over medium heat. Cook until mixture almost boils, stirring occasionally.

Pork Chops: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Dredge pork chops in sugar/spice mixture. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chops and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until done, turning occasionally.

To serve, spoon a generous 1/3 cup of the pumpkin sauce over the bottom of each of 4 plates, placing pork chops on top of pumpkin mixture. Sprinkle with tomatoes and cilantro.
