In small bowl, combine cumin, onion powder, ancho pepper, and salt. Rub spice mixture over all sides of pork chops. Coat large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook, turning once, until browned and no longer pink in centers, 6-7 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, bring large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Add corn; cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Serve reserved butter mixture over corn with chops and salsa.
