Instructions: Combine chiles, garlic, oregano, cumin and vinegar in a blender and puree. Place pork chops in shallow baking dish and pour the pepper mixture on top. Turn the chops to coat. Marinate 4 to 8 hours.

Drain pork chops and pat dry. Place marinade in a small saucepan. Mix in sugar substitute, bring to a boil; cook 3 minutes.

Heat oil in a large skillet. Cook chops 10 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time, just until cooked through. Serve with cooked marinade.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: Chipotles en adobo are smoked, jalapenos in a spicy tomato sauce. They are hot so add less if you prefer a milder dish. They come in small cans, and last forever in the fridge if transferred to a covered glass or plastic container.

Description: "Southwestern flavors complement the rich pork flavor, and marinating the chops makes them even more tender."
