Try the “al pastor” style with thin, crisp shavings of pork. Plus, with the chipotle pepper and charred pineapple marinade, get ready for a “hot and sweet” combo that will impress your family and friends.

For Chipotle Marinade:

  • Combine all marinade ingredients in a large blender and puree until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, marinate pork chops with the marinade. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat a large sauté pan with olive oil to medium high heat and sauté pork chops until golden, approximately 10-12 minutes (5-6 minutes on each side), and chops reach an internal temperature between 145 degrees F. to 160 degrees F. (use a digital thermometer).
  • Serve with Mexican rice, sliced avocados, warm tortillas and charred pineapple.
