Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp paprika (not hot )
1 1/2 tbsp dried oregano, crumbled
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp dried hot red-pepper flakes
1 1/2 tsp finely grated fresh lime zest
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 (1 1/2-inch- thick) bone-in loin pork chops (about 3/4 lb each)

Directions:

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking with medium-hot charcoal.
Stir together all ingredients except pork chops in a bowl to form spice paste, then rub paste all over pork chops.
Oil grill rack, then grill chops over coals, turning over occasionally and moving around if flare-ups occur, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes total.
Move chops to area with no coals underneath, then cover with inverted roasting pan and grill, turning chops over once, until thermometer inserted horizontally into center of a chop (do not touch bone) registers 145°F, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Cooks' notes: Pork can be grilled on a gas grill. Preheat all burners on high, covered, 10 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately high and brown chops, covered, turning over occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off 1 burner (middle one if there are 3) and put chops above shut-off burner, then grill, covered, without turning, until thermometer registers 145°F, 12 to 15 minutes. Pork chops, rubbed with spice paste, can marinate, covered and chilled, up to 4 hours before grilling. Spice paste keeps, covered and chilled, up to 1 week.
