Vietnamese-Style Grilled Pork Chops

A quick marinade of lime, fish sauce and fresh chiles makes these luscious chops a summertime classic. The marinade creates a flavorful crust on the chops while keeping the inside nice and juicy. Make a little extra marinade to toss with sliced cucumbers for an easy side.
