Grilled Chipotle Pineapple Pork Chops

Ingredients

- 4 boneless pork loin chops (approximately 1-inch thick)
- 1 can (7 oz) chipotles in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/2 cup canned pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade:
In a blender, combine the entire can of chipotles in adobo sauce, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, lime juice, and light brown sugar. Blend until smooth.

2. Marinate the Pork Chops:
Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring each piece is coated thoroughly. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor infusion.

3. Prepare the Charcoal Grill:
About 30 minutes before grilling, prepare your charcoal grill for medium-high heat. Once the coals are ashy and glowing, spread them out evenly in the grill.

4. Oil the Grill Grates:
Using tongs, dip a folded paper towel in canola oil and carefully wipe the hot grill grates. This will prevent the pork chops from sticking and ensure even cooking.

5. Season the Chops:
Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip back into the dish. Sprinkle each chop on both sides with kosher salt.

6. Grill the Pork Chops:
Place the chops directly over the coals. Grill for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the outsides are charred with grill marks.

7. Rest the Pork Chops:
Transfer the pork chops to a serving platter and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy and tender meat.
