Orange-Chipotle Pork Chops

2 Pork chops 3/4" thick, 
smoked if possible
1/2 cup Orange Juice
2 Chipotles in Adobo (canned)
1/4 cup Triple Sec, Cointreau, 
or Grand Marnier
1 pinch Salt

In a blender 
or food processor, 
combine Chipotles, 
salt and orange juice. 
Place in a shallow dish 
together with pork chops 
and marinade 
in the refrigerator 
for at least 1 hour.
Take chops out of marinade. 
Reserve Marinade. 
Put marinade in in a small 
saucepan and reduce 
until 1/3 of 
the liquid remains.
In a frying pan, 
place pork chops 
and cook in 
medium-high heat 
until cooked through. 
Take chops out of the pan, 
and drain any excess oil. 
Put pan on high heat 
and cook until no liquid 
remains and a glaze 
is formed on pan.
Take pan away from 
the heat and put the 
pork chops back on the pan.
Add the 1/4 cup Orange Liqueur 
and flambé. 
When the flames die out 
take chops out 
of the pan and keep warm. 
Put the pan back on the stove and 
add the reduced marinade. 
Heat until starting to boil.
Put the chops on a serving platter 
and pour some sauce on top.
Enjoy.
It should be sweet and spicy.
