Mexicali Pork Chops
Feast your eyes on this deliciousness!
Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
- First things first, let’s get those chops marinating! In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Place your pork chops in a resealable bag or shallow dish, and pour that zesty marinade all over. Seal it up or cover it, and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. (Feel free to marinate longer if you want those flavors to sing!)
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If you’re grilling, oil the grates to prevent sticking. Grill the chops for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. If you’re searing in a skillet, do the same—but feel free to dance around while cooking!
- Once cooked, let those chops rest for about 5 minutes to keep all the juicy goodness locked in. This waiting game is crucial—patience will be rewarded!
- Garnish with fresh cilantro for that extra pop of flavor and color. You’re gonna want to dive headfirst into this deliciousness right away!
And there you have it! A sweet, tangy, and spicy dish that’s sure to impress your friends and family. Pair these Mexicali Pork Chops with some grilled veggies or a refreshing salad for a complete meal. Enjoy every bite and don’t forget to make your tastebuds salsa!
