Marinated pork chops with a creamy, tangy southwest-flavored sauce, great on the grill! Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner (baste with sauce while cooking) or for Once A Month Cooking (chops are marinated before cooking)! Ingredients:
6 (5 -6 ounce) boneless pork loin chops, 5-6 oz. each or 1/2 inch thick |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1 teaspoon dried cilantro (or 1 tbsp. fresh cilantro) |
1 teaspoon garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder |
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chile in adobo (to taste) |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, blend together: mayonnaise, yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and chipotle chili powder.
2. Measure 1/2 cup of mixture to a small container, and add up to 1 tablespoon chopped chipotles, to taste.
3. Set aside; this will be the sauce after the chops are cooked.
4. For immediate cooking: Preheat grill (or broiler) and cook chops to desired doneness, about 10 minutes total, turning often and brushing with first mayonnaise-chipotle mixture.
5. Serve with reserved sauce.
6. For OAMC: Place pork chops and first mayonnaise-chipotle mixture into gallon freezer bag and seal.
7. Place sauce mixture into small freezer-safe container or bag and seal.
8. Place both bags together into another gallon freezer bag.
9. Label, date and freeze.
10. To cook: Thaw completely. Preheat grill (or broiler) and cook chops to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side.
11. Serve with reserved sauce.
