Orange-Chipotle Pork Chops image

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.

This recipe was a waste of time and money. The pork chops were tough and the sauce was bland.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pork chops turned out great. I used boneless, skinless pork chops and they were still very juicy. The sauce was also very flavorful.
