Ingredients:

Serving

12 tomatillos* (about 1 lb), husked, rinsed
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 jalapeno chiles
2/3 cup finely chopped white onion
2/3 cup ( lightly packed) chopped fresh cilantro
6 (1 1/4-inch- thick) pork rib chops (14 oz each with bone )
1 garlic clove, peeled, halved
coarse kosher salt
extra-virgin olive oil (for brushing )
12 corn or flour tortillas

Directions:

Preheat broiler. Place tomatillos, 4 whole garlic cloves, and jalapeños on rimmed baking sheet. Broil until tender and vegetables are slightly charred, turning occasionally, about 7 minutes for garlic and 8 minutes for tomatillos and jalapeños. Transfer to plate and let stand until cool enough to handle. Stem and seed jalapeños. Place tomatillos, garlic, jalapeños, onion, and cilantro in processor. Puree until almost smooth. Season tomatillo salsa with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD Salsa can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Return salsa to room temperature before serving.
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Rub both sides of pork chops with halved garlic clove. Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper; brush with oil. Grill until just cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer chops to plate; let rest 10 minutes. Grill tortillas until slightly charred, about 1 minute per side. Serve chops with tortillas and salsa.
