Tips for Making Chipotle Chops:

  • Use high-quality pork chops. Look for chops that are thick and evenly cut, with a good amount of marbling.
  • Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit; for medium, cook to 155 degrees Fahrenheit; and for well-done, cook to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the meat more tender.
