Ingredients:
4 (6 oz.) boneless pork loin chops, about 1" thick
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
1/2 chipotle en adobo, chopped
2 garlic cloves, pushed through a press
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 packet sugar substitute
1 tablespoon canola oil
Instructions:
1. Combine chiles, garlic, oregano, cumin and vinegar in a blender and puree. Place pork chops in shallow baking dish and pour the pepper mixture on top. Turn the chops to coat. Marinate 4-8 hours.
2. Drain pork chops and pat dry. Place marinade in a small saucepan. Mix in sugar substitute, bring to a boil; cook 3 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet. Cook chops 10 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time, just until cooked through. Serve with cooked marinade.
Chipotles en adobo are smoked, jalapenos in a spicy tomato sauce. They are hotso add less if you prefer a milder dish. They come in small cans, and last forever in the fridge if transferred to a covered glass or plastic container.
