Steps:
- Add the pineapple juice, achiote paste, chipotles, garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to a food processor and puree until uniform. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the marinade for glazing. Put the remaining marinade and the pork in a resealable plastic bag and marinate for 2 hours in the fridge, rotating if necessary halfway through.
- Heat a grill to high heat; clean and oil the grill grates.
- Thread the onion rounds on the skewers, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the onions, developing a deep char on each side, about 10 minutes per side. Set aside to cool.
- Lightly season the tenderloins once more, then grill on all 4 sides, frequently basting with the reserved marinade, until golden brown and the internal temperature registers 145 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, tent loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
- Mince the cooled onions and season again. Slice the pork and serve with a dollop of Avocado Crema and garnished with chopped cilantro and charred onions.
- Put the cilantro, Mexican cream, avocado and lime zest and juice in a food processor and run until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap pressed on top until serving, to keep the avocado from browning.

Tips:
- Choose a well-marbled pork chop, about 1 inch thick, for the best flavor and juiciness.
- Make sure your grill is hot before adding the pork chops. This will help to sear the meat and prevent it from sticking.
- Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- For the avocado salsa, use ripe avocados that are slightly firm to the touch. This will help to prevent the salsa from becoming too mushy.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt to taste to the avocado salsa. This will help to brighten the flavors and make the salsa more refreshing.
- Serve the grilled pork chops with the avocado salsa, your favorite sides, and enjoy!
Conclusion:
Grilled pork chops with avocado salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or any other occasion. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, while the avocado salsa is refreshing and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
