Butterflied Cuban Style Pork Chops
- 3/4 cups Orange Juice
- 1/2 cups Fresh Lime Juice
- 13 cups Fresh Coarsely Chopped Oregano
- 6 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1/4 cups Canola Oil
- 2 pounds Boneless Pork Tenderloin, Butterflied And Pounded To 1/4 Inch Thick
- 8 slices Gouda Cheese
- 8 slices Deli Ham
- 2 whole Dill Pickles - Thinly Sliced About 16 Slices
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro Leaves
- 1/4 cups Olive Oil
- Heat the grill to high.
- Whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 3 tablespoons oregano, the garlic, cumin, and canola oil in a large baking dish.
- Add the pork and turn to coat.
- Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry.
- Place the chops on a flat surface, cut-side up and season with salt and pepper.
- Place 1 slice of cheese, 2 slices of ham, a few slices of pickle and another slice of cheese on 1 half of the chop.
- Fold over, brush the top with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Place the chops on the grill, oil side down and grill until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip the chops over and continue grilling until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Whisk the remaining orange and lime juices, oregano, and the cilantro with the olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spoon over the chops and serve.
- Note: To keep the pork together on the grill, I tied it horizontally with one piece of kitchen twine.
