Steps:
- Combine the chiles and adobo sauce, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, thyme, cinnamon and 5 teaspoons salt in a food processor and pulse to make a paste. Transfer to a shallow dish and add the onion, tomatoes, cilantro and 1/3 cup olive oil; mix well. Add the pork chops, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat a grill to medium. Meanwhile, remove the pork chops from the marinade, scraping off the excess, and transfer to a plate. Transfer the marinade to a skillet; add 1/4 cup water and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid simmers and the onions start sizzling, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for basting. (You can also do this in a cast-iron skillet on the grill.)
- Brush the chops with olive oil and transfer to the grill. Cook until marked, 7 to 8 minutes, rotating the pork 45 degrees halfway through to create a crosshatch pattern and brushing with the liquid from the marinade. Flip and repeat, brushing with more marinade, including some pieces of onion and tomato. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes.

ORANGE-CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS
These simple pork chops have a sweet but spicy flavor. This dish requires a flambe, but if you cannot (or are afraid to do so), you can always add the orange liqueur to the marinade before you reduce it, though the result is not quite the same. From Jaime Ernesto Arrieta, San Salvador, El Salvador.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo, you can make your own by blending 2 dried chipotle peppers with 1/4 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of adobo sauce.
- To add a bit of sweetness to the sauce, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- If you want a spicier sauce, you can add an extra chipotle pepper or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
These pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chipotle-orange sauce is flavorful and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with the tender pork chops. Serve these pork chops with your favorite sides, and you're sure to have a hit on your hands!
