Ingredients
-
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
3 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
-
2 large cloves garlic, minced
-
3 tablespoons honey
-
2 tablespoons lime juice
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
2 (10 ounce) pork tenderloins, trimmed of fat
Directions
-
Whisk cilantro, chiles, garlic, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and cumin together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add pork tenderloins, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours.
-
Remove tenderloins from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade and bring pork to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
Grill tenderloins on the preheated grill until slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Cook's Note:
The chipotle chiles called for in this recipe are only 3 chiles from the can. Other chiles can be pureed, frozen, and saved for other uses. For more spice, add more chiles.
