Ingredients
  • 1 (7-ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 medium limes, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black peppercorns
  • 4 pounds bone-in, thick-cut pork chops
Directions
  1. Place the can of chipotles in adobo sauce, the juice from 1 lime, garlic, salt, and pepper into a blender or food processor. Process on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the peppers are broken down, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. The sauce will be thick when done.
  2. Line a 9x13-inch glass pan or a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place spoonfuls of the sauce onto the parchment, spreading it into a thick layer.
  3. Place the pork chops on top of the chipotle sauce. Spread additional spoonfuls of the sauce onto the pork chops to generously coat.
  4. Discard any leftover sauce, cover the pork chops with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to marinate or up to overnight.
  5. Preheat the grill to 375 F.
  6. Place the marinated pork chops onto the center of the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook for 10 minutes, then flip to cook the other side for an additional 10 minutes. When done, the internal temperature in the thickest part of each pork chop should be at least 145 F.
  7. Allow the pork chops to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
