- Scoop 3/4 of a cup of the chipotle mixture into a plastic bag. Add the pork chops to the bag, seal, and toss gently to coat the chops with the chipotle mixture. Reserve the remainder of the chipotle mixture.
- Let the pork chops marinate for about 20 minutes at room temperature.

- Place the pork chops on the grill, and grill covered for for 6 minutes. Flip the pork chops over on the other side and grill covered for 5 more minutes. Check for doneness. The pork chops should be cooked through, a bit of pink is OK for a nice juicy pork chop. Remove to a platter if done, or cook for a couple more minutes to finish if needed.
- Let the grilled pork rest on a platter for a few minutes. Then plate the pork chops, and serve with about 1 tbsp of chipotle sauce spread over the chop. Pass additional chipotle sauce at the table for those who would like more. Enjoy!
- Note: only pass the reserved chipotle sauce that was not used to marinate the pork.
