Ingredients

6.0
6 each boneless pork chops 2.0
2 tbsp packed brown sugar 2.0
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2.0
2 tbsp orange juice 2.0
2 tbsp fresh cilantro 1.0
1 tbsp Vinegar, red wine 2.0
2 tsp chili powder 1.0
1 tsp ground cumin 1.0
1 tsp ground oregano 1.0
1 pinch salt 0.25
0 1/4 tsp ground red pepper (cayenne) 0.25
0 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 3.0

Directions

Trim fat from chops. Place chops in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
For marinade, in a small bowl combine brown sugar, oil, orange juice, cilantro, vinegar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, red pepper (if desired), cinnamon, and garlic.
Pour over chops; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
Drain chops, discarding marinade. For a charcoal grill, grill chops on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12 to 15 minutes or until chops are done (160°F), turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place chops on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
