Another great Southwest recipe. The level of spiciness is your option. I like a lot of cayenne, but you can leave it out and still get great results.

Categories Pork

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

4 pork loin chops (about 1 1/2- 2 pounds)
1/2 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons dried ancho chile powder
1/2 tablespoon adobo seasoning (seasoning salt ok)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2-2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (amount to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (Mexican limes preferred)
2 tablespoons oil (whatever type you use)
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons white tequila
1 tablespoon lime juice (Mexican limes preferred)

Steps:

Mix together ingredients for seasoning paste in a small bowl.
Spread paste on both sides of pork chops (reserving at least 1/4 cup paste) and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
Prepare grill; oil grill rack before placing on fire.
Mix together ingredients for baste, combining excess paste with ingredients for baste; set aside.
Grill chops on medium-hot coals or heat for 5-8 minutes.
Turn chops and grill for 4-6 minutes more, basting with grill baste.
Turn chops and cook 2-3 minutes more, basting the other side.
Remove from heat and allow to rest 5 minutes or so before serving.

Tips:

Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during grilling.
Marinate the pork chops: Marinating the pork chops in a flavorful marinade will help tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, a tangy citrus marinade, or a spicy chili marinade.
Grill the pork chops over medium heat: This will help prevent the pork chops from drying out. Cook the pork chops for about 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the pork chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Garnish the pork chops with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include grilled pineapple, sautéed mushrooms, or a simple sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Adobe grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can cook pork chops that are juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
