A few days ago, I happened across some center cut, boneless pork chops that were too good to pass up. About 1.5 inches think and 8 ounces each, they were beautiful. I marinated them for around 6 hours in a mix of lime juice, minced garlic, 1/2 bunch of cilantro, crushed with mortar and pestle, and a mix of jalapeño, serrano, and habañero chiles, also crushed. I grilled these on the Weber over charwood, searing hot heat for about 5 minutes on a side. The chops came out seared, juicy, and still a little pink in the middle. Here's what I did with the leftovers:
You will need:
- 1 lb. marinated and wood-grilled pork, cooked
- 4 taco-sized flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp. Búfalo Chipotle hot sauce (its actually quite mild)
- 1/2 cup grated Cotija cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (I like Cabot)
- fresh cilantro leaves
Dice the pork into bite size pieces and mix with the chipotle sauce. Reheat in a saucepan over medium-low heat or in 30 second intervals in the microwave. Spoon 1/4 of the pork into each tortilla. Top with cilantro leaves and cheeses.
Makes 4 tacos / serves 2
