Adobo Marinated Pork Kabobs

These are really, really good. In the summer we like to make kabobs quite a bit on the grill. These were awesome! They do have a little zip to them since they have the chipotles in the marinade.

Adobo Marinated Pork Kabobs

1/2 c red wine vinegear
1/4 c fresh cilantro leaves
3 T fresh oregano leaves
2 T canned chipotle chilis in sauce (about 3 chilis with sauce)
3 cloves garlic, halved
1 T brown sugar
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c butter, melted
1 1/2 pounds pork loin cut in 1" cubes

Salsa:

1 1/2 c chopped Roma tomatoes
1/3 c chopped green olives
1/4 c Monteray Jack cheese, cut in 1/2" cubes
1 T fresh cilantro
1 T lime juice
Mix all of the above and chill.

Combine in food processor or blender the first 6 ingredients. Process until well chopped. Pour in the oil and the butter. Pulse until smooth. Reserve 1/3 c of marinade to bast the kabobs. Place pork cubes in bag and pour marinade over. Seal and mix up. Place bag in a 9x13" pan. Turn several times to coat pork. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Thread on skewers. Grill 12-17 minutes brushing with reserved marinade. Serve with salsa.
