A flavorful and easy-to-make grilled pork recipe with a zesty chipotle lime marinade.
Combine the chipotle chile, oregano, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a small mixing bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all flavors are well combined.
Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them.
Massage the bag gently to distribute the marinade evenly over the pork.
Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
The longer the pork marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Pat the pork dry with paper towels to promote even grilling.
Grill the pork chops for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and juicy pork.
Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides and enjoy.
Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges for added freshness.
