Tender Pork Tenderloin seasoned with a chipotle marinade and drizzled with cilantro lime Sauce. Chipotle Pork Tenderloin is one weeknight dinner dish that my whole family loved!
Ingredients
For the Pork:
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
For the Cilantro Lime Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- handful of cilantro, garnish
Instructions
- In a food processor, add oil, salt, pepper and chilies in adobo. Process until chilies are finely ground. Slowly stream in the orange juice. Pour ingredients into a large ziploc bag, add pork tenderloins and seal. Shake and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- When ready, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake tenderloins on baking sheet and cook for about 20 minutes, until internal temperature of pork reaches 145 degrees. Oven temps may vary, so using a meat thermometer yields best results!
- Remove from oven and allow to rest about 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the pork is cooking, combine all the dressing ingredients in a blender (or food processor). Blend until smooth.
- To serve, slice pork and drizzle with cilantro lime dressing. ENJOY!!
Notes
- Pink pork is okay as long as the temperature reaches 145 degrees!
