Mexican adobo grilled pork tenderloin
Lean pork tenderloin rubbed with homemade Mexican adobo spice is perfect for summer. Grilled (or grilled) this is a great tasting, smoky, tender piece of meat. Perfect with coriander and lime rice to make with a meal.
Pork tenderloin is the leanest piece of pork, in fact, it’s just as lean as a skinless chicken breast and doesn’t take long to cook, which makes it perfect for busy weekends. If you’re tired of making the same thing for dinner, this is the answer (and bonus, it’s completely people friendly).
This recipe comes from the cookbook Simple Food, Big Flavor, (affil link) by Aarón Sánchez (you may know him as one of the judges on Chopped). Yesterday I made a batch of Aarons Adobo just to make this pork dish. I also used this adobo seasoning for grilled pork chops and chicken breast, so flavorful!

I really craved coriander and lime rice and found it the perfect compliment. Finally press the lime wedges over the pork – delicious! Avocado, Refried Beans or Fiesta Bean Salad would also be fabulous as a side dish.
