Puerto Nuevo Pork Fajitas - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  30-60 minutes

ingredients

1 1/2 pound pork tenderloin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup hot pepper jelly, melted
2 oranges, cut in half (preferably blood oranges)
3/4 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed and chopped
6 warm flour tortillas, for serving
pico de gallo, for garnish

directions

Butterfly pork loin by cutting down the length of the loin about halfway, starting at the the thick end. Flatten it (with mallet or edge of a plate) so that it is of even thickness, about 3/4-inch thick.

Mix chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper and massage into meat on both sides. Put it into a plastic bag and let it marinate.

Prepare hot grill. Place tenderloin over heat and cook about 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 155 to 160 degrees F, brushing with the melted hot pepper jelly on each side to glaze. Let pork stand for a minute or two before slicing.

Remove to cutting board, slice on the diagonal into thin slices and place slices onto a warm platter. Squeeze oranges over the sliced meat, sprinkle with cilantro.

Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas and pico de gallo. Pinto beans or black beans with Mexican-style rice are good on the side.
