Asado de Puerco

Typically served at Mexican parties. For decades, Mexican women have made it sound like Asado was a very complicated dish to prepare... it's not. This recipe serves 6 people, to be accompanied with rice, avocado slices, and tortillas... oh yeah, y una coquita.

4. Add mixture to the pork chops and cover
