Herbed Adobo Pork Chops


We had this for our Christmas dinner. It was incredibly tender and tasty. I'm not a huge fan of pork chops, but these were fantastic. On Christmas Eve, there was a huge blizzard and we weren't about to try to find the grill under the snow. We cooked this on our griddle and it was fantastic! Served it with some sauteed zucchini squash.


INGREDIENTS

6 boneless pork loin chops
2 tbsp. packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. orange juice
1 tsp. dried cilantro
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp. ground cinammon
3 cloves garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS

Trim fat from chops. Place chops in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a small bowl combine brown sugar, oil, orange juice, cilantro, vinegar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, red pepper, cinnamon, and garlic. Pour over chops, seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-24 hours, turning occasionally. Drain chops, discarding marinade.
For a charcoal grill, grill chops on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12-15 minutes or until chops are done, turning once halfway through grilling.
For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place chops on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.
