Chipotle-Teriyaki Pork Chops image

These flavorful pork chops have both Southwestern and Asian flair-with the chipotle and ancho pepper, and the teriyaki and soy sauce. They're topped with queso fresco-a white, fresh Mexican cheese that has a fine-grained texture and mild flavor. It softens but does not melt when heated. Also called queso blanco, it can be found in Latin markets and larger supermarkets.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I used mild chipotle peppers. The pork chops were still flavorful, but not too hot.

I used boneless, skinless pork chops and they cooked perfectly in the marinade. I served them with a side of grilled pineapple and it was a perfect summer meal.

I'm allergic to gluten, so I used gluten-free soy sauce and tamari instead of regular soy sauce. The pork chops were still delicious!

I was a bit skeptical about using chipotle, but it was the perfect complement to the teriyaki. The pork chops were cooked perfectly and had a nice kick to them.

Great recipe! I had to make a couple of substitutions (used brown sugar instead of honey, and added a teaspoon of minced garlic), but the pork chops still turned out delicious.

A wonderfully balanced and flavorful pork chop dish! The chipotle and teriyaki flavors played well off each other, resulting in a tender and juicy pork chop with a slightly spicy and tangy glaze.
