Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, combine all ingredients except pork chops; mix well. Place pork chops in nonmetal dish or large resealable food storage plastic bag. Pour taco sauce mixture over pork chops; turn to coat. Cover dish or seal bag. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to marinate.
  • 2
    Heat grill. When ready to grill, remove pork chops from marinade; reserve marinade. Place pork chops on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 11 to 13 minutes or until pork is no longer pink in center, turning once and brushing with reserved marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.

  • To broil pork chops, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning once and brushing with reserved marinade.
  • Cuban-style marinades often combine a citrus juice with rum.
  • Distilled from fermented sugarcane juice, rum ranges from light-colored and mild-flavored to dark and deep. Cuban rum is dark, rich and full-flavored. Use dark rum to give these chops authentic flavor.
  • Black beans and rice are perfect with this Caribbean-inspired recipe. Wedges of cool, fresh papaya and mango make a delicious dessert.
