Grilled Pork Tenderloin Southwest

  • 4 pork tenderloins, about 1 pound each
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup dried, crushed chiles (New Mexico, ancho, cascabel, chipotle or serrano, in order of mildest to hottest)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 3 large limes)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
Mix all marinade ingredients and marinate tenderloins in a glass or plastic container for several hours or overnight.

Before grilling, remove the tenderloins from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature.

Preheat your grill. Remove the tenderloins from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Grill over high heat for 10 minutes, turning frequently, to sear. Then, move the tenderloins to a cooler part of your grill or, if you are using a gas grill, reduce the heat, and cook for approximately 15 minutes longer, turning frequently, or until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 160°F degrees. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice on the diagonal and serve with sliced avocados, onions and tomatoes


Note: You can control the heat of the marinade with the amount and type of chile you select.
