Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together lime juice, honey, jalapeno and red onion.

• Serve with chips.

CRANBERRY AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Char bell pepper over a gas flame or in the broiler until the skin has blackened on all sides. Place charred pepper in a paper bag to steam off skin for about 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and chop the bell pepper.
• Combine cranberries, sugar, and orange juice in processor. Using on/off turns, coarsely chop cranberries. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the bell pepper, jalapeno, and orange peel. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Stir avocado and cilantro into salsa. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

SPICE-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOINS IN CORN HUSKS WITH CRANBERRY-AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Stir cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and black peppercorns in small dry skillet over medium heat until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Finely grind spice mixture in spice grinder or mini processor. Mix ground spices, shallot, olive oil, salt, and garlic in small bowl until paste forms. Rub pork on all sides with spice paste. Cover and chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Tear 4 corn husks lengthwise into strips 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide. Place 1 pork tenderloin log in center of each remaining corn husk. Wrap corn husks around pork and tie center and ends of each with corn husk strips as for tamales, enclosing pork completely. Place pork bundles on rack on baking sheet. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with damp kitchen towel, then foil, and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake pork bundles uncovered until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of each piece registers 150°F, 35 to 45 minutes, depending on thickness of pork.
• Place 1 pork bundle on each of 8 plates. Remove husk strip from 1 end of each; fold corn husk back slightly, exposing some of meat. Spoon Cranberry-Avocado Salsa alongside and serve.
