Grilled Pork Tenderloin Fajitas Recipes

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Trim the pork tenderloin of any excess fat and silver skin.
• Place the lime zest, lime juice, honey, salt, and garlic powder in a small, lidded jar and shake to combine. Pour half of the marinade mixture into a 1-gallon resealable bag, add the chipotle pepper, and move around to combine. Add the pork tenderloin to the bag and seal, removing as much air as possible and place in a container to catch any leaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, rotating the bag halfway through the time. Place the remaining marinade in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the tenderloin from the bag and allow to sit at room temperature while preparing the grill. Remove the reserved marinade from the refrigerator.
• Fill a large chimney starter with natural lump charcoal and light. Once the charcoal is ashy and white, approximately 30 minutes, dump the hot charcoal onto the lowest grate of the grill and spread into an even layer using extra-long tongs. Place the cooking grate back on the grill and cover with the lid; heat the grate to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Remove the tenderloin from the bag and place in the center of grate. Discard bag with marinade. Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloin from the grill and place on a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil folded at the edges to create a basket, and pour on the reserved marinade. Wrap tightly and rest for 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

• Trim a pork tenderloin of any silverskin and fat. Rinse and pat dry. Cut in half the long way.
• Flip the halves of the tenderloin back together and cut into ½ inch slices. This will make them "cross grain" and more tender.
• Put pork into large bowl, add the spice mixture and stir together coating the pork well.
• rep some veggies. I went with a large onion along with a green and red pepper.
• I leave the top of the grill open at this point and increase the burners to high. Add the meat to the griddle. Stir frequently. That grill is hot. After after a minute or two add the veggies.
• Continue to stir and flip frequently. You will really feel like your cooking here. Total cooking time 10 to 12 minutes from the pork hitting the griddle.
• Serve with warmed tortillas and toppings of your choice. I used sour cream, cheese and jalapeno slices.
