2 cup fresh orange juice

3/4 cup fresh lime juice

1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh oregano leaves

8 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 cup canola oil

4 (8-ounce) 1" think pork chops, butterflied and thinly pounded

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

8 (1/4-inch) thick slices Swiss cheese

8 (1/4-inch) thick slices boiled ham

2 sour dill pickles, thinly sliced (need about 16 slices)

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves

1/4 cup olive oil

Whisk together 1 1/2 cups orange juice, 1/2 cup lime juice, 6 tablespoons oregano, the garlic, cumin, and canola oil in a large baking dish. Add the pork and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. Remove the pork from the marinade and place on a flat surface, cut-side up and season with salt and pepper. Place 1 slice of cheese, 1 slice of ham, a few slices of pickle and another slice of cheese on 1 half of the chop. Fold over and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Heat the grill to high. Place the chops on the grill, and grill until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the chops over and continue grilling until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Whisk the remaining orange and lime juices, oregano, and the cilantro with the olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon over the chops and serve.
