Transfer the mixture to a nonreactive container, add the pork chops and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before cooking
For the corn and mushrooms: Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the butter, cumin, corn kernels, poblano and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the corn is light brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the scallions and lime juice and season with salt. Set aside.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with oil.
Grill the pork chops until marked and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice.
Serve with the warm tortillas and toppings.
