Ingredients

  • 4-6 thick cut pork chops
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 tsp dried Mexican oregano
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 chipotle; diced (from chilies in adobo can)
  • 1/2 T adobo sauce; +/- to heat taste

Instructions

  1. Chop the cilantro and the onions; add to a bowl.
  2. Add the orange juice, dried herbs, chopped chipotle and adobo sauce and whisk together until blended.
  3. Place pork in a zip-seal bag or large container.
  4. Pour the marinade over the meat, and work it in well, making sure the meat is fully coated in the liquid and herbs.
  5. Flip the meat or disturb the container frequently to help the less covered sections to recovered.
  6. Heat the grill and once it is hot, reduce heat to low.
  7. Add the pork chops, cook for about 5 minutes and then flip and cook an additional 5 minutes. Watch for doneness by checking the internal temperature with a thermometer. Depending on the thickness of the chop, it could take as little as 3 minutes per side and as long as 10 minutes per side. The internal temperature needs to be 145°
  8. Serve and Enjoy
