Recipe by Steven Raichlen, Francine Maroukian, and the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen The inspiration for this recipe comes from poc chuc, a grilled pork dish from Mexico's Yucatán region. Brining the pork chops prevents the meat from drying out on the grill.

  • 4 6 x 3 3/4 x 2-inch disposable mini aluminum loaf pans (for wood chips, if using gas grill)
  • 1 large white onion with skin, quartered through core with some core still attached to each piece
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro plus 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 small green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, sliced
  • 1 bunch red radishes, trimmed, sliced
  • Warm corn tortillas
