These flavorful pork chops have both Southwestern and Asian flair—with the chipotle and ancho pepper, and the teriyaki and soy sauce. They're topped with queso fresco—a white, fresh Mexican cheese that has a fine-grained texture and mild flavor. It softens but does not melt when heated. Also called queso blanco, it can be found in Latin markets and larger supermarkets.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup lime juice

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, drained
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
