Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the mojo marinade.
Step 2: Place 4 bone-in pork chops in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove pork chops from marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F and chops have nice grill marks.
Step 4: While pork cooks, combine 1 cup diced ripe mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup minced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 tsp minced jalapeño in a bowl. Toss gently to mix.
Step 5: Serve grilled pork chops topped with a generous spoonful of the fresh tropical mango salsa.
