These Pork Chops with Strawberry Guava Sauce by Sylvia Klinger, RD are a delicious way to add fresh, bright flavor to a family favorite. There are many different cuts for pork chops. Loin chops (also known as center loin chop, center-cut loin chop, loin pork chop, pork loin end chop, porterhouse, or top-loin chop) are very lean, with very mild pork flavor. They make the perfect backdrop for the bold and spicy flavors like adobo seasonings and chipotle sauce used in the rest of the dish.
