Prepare the marinade: In a baking dish, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and 1 T. lime juice.

Season pork chops with 1 t. salt and ground pepper. Add to marinade dish and turn to coat. Let sit, turning occasionally while you prepare the salsa.

Preheat grill to medium-high. Place pineapple rings, avocados (flat side down), onion, and jalapeño on grill and cook, until beginning to soften and grill marks appear, around 3 to 4 minutes per side (remove avocados after first 3 to 4 minutes). Remove from heat, roughly chop all vegetables, and place in bowl.

Add cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and remaining 1 T. lime juice, remaining 1/2 t. salt to bowl with and mix well. Let rest.

Then, place pork chops on hot grill and cook 5 to 6 minutes per side until no longer pink in the middle.

Serve hot pork chops with a heaping serving of pineapple-avocado salsa.
