Slow Cooker Chipotle Pork Chops Recipes

SLOW COOKER CHIPOTLE PORK

Steps:

• Cut slits in the pork roasts and stuff the slices of garlic cloves in the holes. Do this with all the garlic slices all around the roast.
• Mix all the dry spices (salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, oregano and ground coriander) and rub liberally into the pork roast.
• Add the olive oil to a large pan and heat to medium high.
• Brown the roast on all sides. About 2-3 minutes on each side. Then set aside.
• To the slow cooker add your onion, bell peppers, chipotle peppers and apple cider vinegar and stir well.
• Place the roast on top of the vegetables and cook for 6-8 hours until the meat can fall apart with a fork.
• When down, shred the pork in the crock pot and mix well into the vegetables and sauce.
• Serve with the limes so that everyone can sqeeze some lime juice over their dishes before eating.
• Eat over rice or in tacos or burritos. Garnish with avocados, cilantro, sour cream, cheese or whatever you like.

SLOW-COOKER CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS

• Place all ingredients except toppings in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer inserted in pork reads at least 145°, 4-5 hours. Top with french-fried onions and cilantro just before serving.

CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine the chiles and adobo sauce, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, thyme, cinnamon and 5 teaspoons salt in a food processor and pulse to make a paste. Transfer to a shallow dish and add the onion, tomatoes, cilantro and 1/3 cup olive oil; mix well. Add the pork chops, turning to coat; cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Meanwhile, remove the pork chops from the marinade, scraping off the excess, and transfer to a plate. Transfer the marinade to a skillet; add 1/4 cup water and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the liquid simmers and the onions start sizzling, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for basting. (You can also do this in a cast-iron skillet on the grill.)
• Brush the chops with olive oil and transfer to the grill. Cook until marked, 7 to 8 minutes, rotating the pork 45 degrees halfway through to create a crosshatch pattern and brushing with the liquid from the marinade. Flip and repeat, brushing with more marinade, including some pieces of onion and tomato. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes.
