This was so good, simple and healthy. It's another adaptation from the BHG's Dieter's Cookbook.

Mojo Pork Sandwiches

This was simply just amazing! I loved it from the first bite.

Mojo Pork Sandwiches


for pork chops:
2 pork chops, boneless
1cup orange juice
2TBSP lime juice
2TBSP olive oil

for mojo:
3/4c chopped sweet peppers, finely chopped or minced
4 large garlic cloves
1/4c orange juice
1TBSP lime juice, fresh is MUCH better
1tsp cumin
1tsp dried oregano
1/4tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Mozzarella Cheese (thinly sliced or shredded)
shredded cabbage and carrot mix (like a coleslaw mix)

To make the mojo, cook sweet pepper and garlic in hot oil until tender.  Stir in orange and lime juice, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring up to a boil, reduce to a soft boil for about a minute.  Take off burner and let cool to room temp.

 In a medium skillet cook pork chops in 1c orange juice, 2 TBSP lime juice and 2 TBSP olive oil until no pink remains in the center.

Toast bread, and construct a sandwich with pork, mojo sauce, mozzarella and cabbage/carrot mix. Enjoy!
