Equipment

  • Grilling skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Thongs
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pork chops thin center-cut, boneless, and butterflied
  • 1 teaspoon cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican style dry rub cumin, garlic, salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle adobo sauce
  • 2 cups lettuce shredded
  • 2 cups white rice cooked
  • 2 cups black beans cooked
  • 1 cup pico de gallo salsa
  • 1/2 avocado sliced
  • 4 radishes

Instructions
 

  • Season the pork chops adding some cooking oil first. Then cover with the chipotle sauce and sprinkle the dry rub and the black pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and place inside the fridge for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a stovetop grilling skillet. Allow the skillet to get hot and grill the pork chops for 8-9 minutes (4.5 minutes each side).

  • Finish plating with pico de gallo salsa and include a side of warm corn tortillas.

Notes

Tips for cooking the best Chipotle Pork Chops Bowl.
  • We chose butterflied boneless center-cut pork chops as those are the favorite pork cuts that my family prefers. You can use bone-in pork chops that have even more flavor and the bone helps the meat to avoid dryness.
  • When choosing the pork chops look for those that have a nice deep pink color and some marbling.
  • Use a hot grilling pan to sear the meat correctly.
  • Season the meat using your favorite condiment. We used homemade chipotle adobo sauce and a dry rub with cumin, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  • Recommend to marinate the meat for 15-30 minutes before grilling for more flavor.
  • When cooking the pork meat avoid using a fork to pierce the meat when flipping, use thongs instead.
  • Cook the pork chops for 8-9 minutes (4.5 minutes each side).
  • Don’t overcook the pork chops. Pork is best when cooking to 145° F followed by a 3-minute rest.
  • Pair the chipotle pork chops with lettuce, rice, beans, avocado slices, pico de gallo salsa, and radishes.
  • Drizzle the food with lime juice before eating it.
  • For a classic Mexican experience include a side of warm corn tortillas.
