It was Pork Chop Sunday....

My Dave loves pork chops... so I am always trying to find a different way of fixing them to maintain his interest-- well, to be honest, he would probably eat them any way I fixed them, but I do like to change it up at bit. :) So I was thinking about an indulgence of mine- margaritas. I love them and so does Dave so I decided to do a version of margarita pork chops that was all my own. It turned out pretty darn good and hit the spot

Grilled Margarita Pork Chops

 2-4 thick chops (bone in or bone out)

 Marinade:
1 cup Margarita mix
1/2 cup tequila
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic

 Basting sauce:
 1/2 cup margarita mix
1/4 cup tequila
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1. Mix marinade and pour over chops.
 2. Cover and allow at least 1-2 hours in the fridge.

Grill and baste sauce 4-5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chops. The internal temp for chops is to be 160*- so use a meat thermometer.

 I turned down the heat on these and was able to let the wonderful brown sugar basting sauce to really carmalize on the chops!

 This made it take a bit long than 4-5 minutes per side, but by watching the chops, they did not dry out.

 I served these chops with onions sauteed in butter and a splash of margarita mix and chili powder- spectacular. I also created a sauce with mayo. lime juice, and chili powder...

 Definitely Dave test and DAVE approved!

I used the low calorie margarita mix from Jose
