CHIPOTLE LIME MARINATED GRILLED PORK CHOPS OR TENDERLOIN
Recipe from package of pork chops.Prep time does not include marinating time. You can alternately use dried chipotle, just rehydrate in hot water for about 15 mins and then chop. I actually like this better as a marinade for pork tenderloin.

MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH HONEY, LIME AND CHIPOTLE
Steps:
- Put the orange juice, lime juice, zest, honey, salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, chipotles and adobo in a blender or large food processor, and pulse a few times to make sure it's well blended. Put the tenderloin in a large zip lock bag and pour in about half of the marinade. Make sure the pork is completely surrounded by marinade by removing as much air as possible from the bag, then put it in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours, up to 24. Put the remaining marinade in a sealed container in the fridge. Remove the tenderloin and reserved marinade about 30 minutes before you're ready to cook it and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 425°F (225°C). Heat the oil in a cast iron (or oven safe) skillet over medium high heat. Place the tenderloin in the skillet and sear on all sides; about 2 - 3 minutes per side, then place the skillet in the oven and continue to roast the tenderloin for about 15 more minutes. Remove the tenderloin from the skillet to a plate, and cover with a foil tent while you make the sauce. Put the skillet (with juices in it) back over a high flame, and pour in the reserved marinade. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens. After letting the tenderloin rest for about 10 minutes under the foil, place it on a cutting board and slice into medallions. Serve topped with the sauce and sprinkled with chopped cilantro.
Tips:
- Choose a tender pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm to the touch and has a bright pink color.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the pork tenderloin: This will help you get even slices that will cook evenly.
- Marinate the pork tenderloin for at least 30 minutes: This will help to infuse the pork with flavor and make it more tender.
- Cook the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the pork while keeping the inside juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork tenderloin is cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the pork tenderloin should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Lime marinated pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade infuses the pork with a bright and tangy flavor, and the tenderloin cooks quickly and easily. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
