Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 1/4 cup orange juice, divided
- 1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, divided
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 4 (1-inch-thick) bone-in pork chops
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 cup watercress, for garnish
- 1 Roma tomato, chopped, for garnish
- 1/2 avocado, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, combine 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup lime juice, and vinegar. Add pork and let it sit and marinate for about 1 hour in refrigerator.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all dried spices. Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and rub with the dry spice mixture.
- Heat oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Place the pork chops in the pan and sear on 1 side until brown. Flip over and turn the heat down to medium-low. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Then add the garlic and continue to cook until garlic begins to brown. Pour in the remaining 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, and white wine. Simmer until the liquid is slightly reduced and begins to thicken. The chops should be cooked through.
- Remove the chops from pan and put on a warm plate. Continue to reduce juices in pan by half. Pour over the chops and serve immediately.
- Garnish with watercress, tomatoes and avocado.

Lots of ingredients and WORTH IT! You can’t go wrong with this one. Miami flavor on your plate any day of the week.
delicious! Definitely short marinade is best , or it will overpower the flavor. I served it with sauteed zucchini.
Absolutely delicious and will make again
The mojo imparted an intense flavor into the chops. This was amazing and will 100% make this again.
Absolutely Delicious!! I used boneless center cut butterfly chops!
I made this for me and my picky eating boys and they loved it. Of course had to leave the onions out but used onion powder instead. Will be making this on a regular occasion
Love this recipe! My daughters cooked it and it turned out great! No one complained!
yay!l
yay!l
Made this and my family enjoyed the pork chops. I substituted lemon juice for lime and it turned out well.
Good recipe, and I will make again. Didn’t think it was too much work for a weeknight dinner. Next time I will cut the salt in half. The recipe as written is just too salty.
Wait….no garlic in the mojo? Hmmmm…stay in Cali, we got dis.
