Adobo Pork Chops

  • 2-1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons paprika
  • 1-1/2 Tablespoon dried Oregano
  • 6 cloves minced garlic
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (Dried Ancho, chile de arbol, New Mexican, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon Mrs Dash Extra Spicy seasoning
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 thick bone-in pork chops
Stir all ingredients together to form a paste, except pork chops - its pretty hard to stir pork chops! Rub the paste on the pork chops. The pork chops can marinate with the rub on for up to 4 hours in refrigerator, if desired. Oil grill rack and grill chops over high heat until browned on each side (about 3 minutes). Turn chops over to prevent burning.

Lower heat to medium and move chops to indirect heat area of grill and cover them with an inverted roasting pan or a foil tent. Turn once and cook until meat thermometer inserted horizontally reaches 145 degrees (about 8-10 minutes). Transfer to platter and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
