Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
- Brush the pork tenderloins with oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Use a clean cloth or rolled paper towels soaked with oil to season the grill. Grill the tenderloins, turning as necessary to mark them well on all sides. Use a basting brush to coat the tenderloins with sauce. Turn the tenderloins about every 2 minutes and reapply sauce to ensure even caramelization. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees F (for medium doneness) to 160 degrees F (for well done).
- Remove the tenderloins to a wire rack or plate to rest. Rest in a warm place for at least 5 to 7 minutes. Bring leftover sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with sauce for dipping or drizzling.
- Coat the whole red onions with canola oil and roast until inside layers are very soft, about 1 hour. Peel the onions and discard outer layers if blackened. Place in blender with prickly pear cactus puree and blend at high speed until completely smooth. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute minced onions until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add coriander, cumin, pepper flakes, serrano, garlic, and lime zest. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add Worcestershire, tequila, cider vinegar and lime juice. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half.
- Stir in onion/cactus fruit puree, water and salt, to taste, and bring to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and swirl in the remaining butter. The sauce may be blended to achieve a smoother consistency or left as it is.
PRICKLY PORK
This is a rather unusual recipe that I came up with using the crockpot with outstanding results. You can serve this up alone, in taco shells, or soft tortillas...any way, the result is great! Nopalitos (cactus pieces) have a flavor that is all their own, but can be kind of like a mild artichoke flavor and if it is spiced in the jar, can have a little green chile taste. You can get the nopalitos in the Mexican section of your supermarket or any Mexican grocer.

Steps:
- Cut roast into large chunks and either season roast (or chops) with salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, and oregano.
- Place meat in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Cover meat with rinsed/drained/sliced nopalitos (cactus) and sliced onions and top with salsa.
- Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours or until pork is cooked through, tender, and pullable with fork.
- Strain meat and vegetables from crockpot.
- Using 2 forks, shred meat and mix with vegetable mixture (may add some of the juice from the crockpot if you like it more moist) Serve shredded meat mixture as desired: with tortillas, taco shells (with or without toppings), or alone.
Tips:
- To select the best pork, look for meat that is firm and pink in color, with little to no marbling. Avoid meat that is excessively fatty or has a grayish tint.
- Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness in the dish to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you enjoy a more intense heat, you can increase the amount of these spices.
- For a more succulent and flavorful dish, marinate the pork chops in the mixture of spices, garlic, and lime juice for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and tenderize it.
- When grilling or pan-frying the pork chops, be sure to cook them over medium-high heat to create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside moist and juicy. Avoid overcooking the chops, as this can make them tough and dry.
- Serve the prickly pork chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. You can also garnish the chops with chopped cilantro or parsley for added flavor and color.
Conclusion:
Prickly pork chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its zesty blend of spices, tangy lime juice, and tender pork, this dish is sure to tantalize your taste buds. Whether you choose to grill, pan-fry, or bake the pork chops, you'll end up with a flavorful and satisfying meal. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to prepare pork, give prickly pork chops a try. You won't be disappointed!
