It’s time to make grilled pork with mango salsa! We love to grill at our house. My husband is a wonderful grill master, and everything he puts on the grill comes out beautifully.

I made a mango salsa to go with the pork chops, and I know we’ll be cooking it over and over again this summer! You can make the entire meal (including the salsa) in just 30 minutes.

These grill pork chops with mango salsa have the perfect amount of heat. Richard is very fond of anything spicy, but I prefer a little less heat. To suit both of us, I often use cumin in my spicy dishes.

It has a wonderful smoky flavor that combines with hot peppers and other hot spices, BUT I can tame them down a little by not adding so much of those and still ending up with a delicious recipe.

How to make this grilled pork with mango salsa recipe

Even though this recipe is packed with flavor, it’s surprisingly easy to make. Start by making your pork marinade.

Make the mango pork chops marinade

Combine all of the marinade ingredients (except for the pork) in a shallow dish.
Whisk until well combined.
Place the fresh pork chops dish and cover them with the marinade. I chose bone in pork because it has so much flavor when grilled.
Once the pork chops are covered in the marinade, place them in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

If you have time, you can marinate the pork chops for longer. You will want the flavors to mix well with the meat.

I like to marinate my pork in the morning and let it marinate in the fridge until dinner (rotating it occasionally). However, 20 minutes gives you enough time for a quick marinade plenty of time to make the homemade mango salsa that will accompany the meat.

Make the mango salsa for pork chops

Since my marinade for the meat is Mexican inspired, I’ll use some of the same flavors for my salsa, today.

The first step in making the salsa is to seed the tomatoes. I chose Campari on the vine tomatoes. They are an easy size to handle.

I can hold half a tomato in my left hand and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds in the other. Repeat until they are all seeded.

Then give the tomatoes a good dice and combine them with all the other fresh ingredients. Add your lime juice and balsamic vinegar, the super fresh cilantro leaves and cumin and sea salt and give it all a good swirl.

Here is a tip: Roll your lime on the cutting board a few times to release the juices. You’ll get much more juice out of the lime doing this!

Grill the pork chops

Now it’s time to grill the pork chops on the BBQ!

Make sure to grill them until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145ºF (63ºC).
My pork chops were not too thick and took about 6 minutes for each side. Yours might take a different amount of time, depending on the thickness of your pork chops.

Once the pork chops are grilled, transfer them to a plate and top them with the fresh homemade mango salsa. Serve with an extra wedge of lime.
