Chipotle-Teriyaki Pork Chops image

These flavorful pork chops have both Southwestern and Asian flair-with the chipotle and ancho pepper, and the teriyaki and soy sauce. They're topped with queso fresco-a white, fresh Mexican cheese that has a fine-grained texture and mild flavor. It softens but does not melt when heated. Also called queso blanco, it can be found in Latin markets and larger supermarkets.
