Chipotle Honey Lime Pork Chops

This marinade was intended for a pork tenderloin. I would have had to sear it and then bake it in the oven but let's be honest. The less time I have to spend on dinner the happier I am these days. I decided to do some porkchops and then have C toss them on the grill! And let me tell you...I wish I would have made more of them because I am pretty sure we all would have had seconds! I served this with cilantro lime rice and corn. It would also be an excellent marinade for beef or chicken!
