Mexican Mole Pork Chops
Ingredients

4 pork, chops, bone-in, 1 1/2 inch thick
1/8 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder, unsweetened
1/4 teaspoon pepper(s), chipotle chile, ground
1 dash(es) cinnamon, ground
1 dash(es) allspice, ground
1 tablespoon sugar, brown
Preparation

In small bowl, combine brown sugar, onion powder, cocoa, garlic powder, ground Chipotle pepper, paprika, cinnamon, and allspice; rub onto both sides of pork chops. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Preheat grill to 400 to 450 degrees F.

When ready to cook, spray light coat of cooking spray on pork chops to keep them from sticking to the grill. Place on hot grill. Cover; cook for 7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 160º F using an instant-read thermometer.

Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with Mango Salsa if desired.
