Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole (about 1 pound each) Pork tenderloin
- 3 peppers Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Fresh mango
- 0.5 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole (seeded and minced) Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the chipotle peppers, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, honey, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
Place the pork tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill heats, prepare the mango salsa.
Peel the mangoes, slice off the cheeks, and cut the fruit into large wedges. Lightly oil the grill grates and grill the mango slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until slightly charred. Remove from the grill and let cool.
Dice the grilled mango and place it in a medium bowl. Add the finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, fresh lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Grill the pork tenderloins for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork tenderloins into medallions and serve warm, topped with the grilled mango salsa. Enjoy!
