    List of Ingredients




    2 3/4- to 1-pound pork tenderloins
    4 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, rinsed
    1/2 cup orange juice
    1/4 cup coarsely chopped onion
    2 tablespoons snipped fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
    2 tablespoons lime juice
    1 tablespoon honey
    1 tablespoon cooking oil
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    Fresh oregano (optional)

    Recipe



    1. Trim any fat from meat. Place meat in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a food processor bowl or blender container combine chipotle peppers, orange juice, onion, oregano, lime juice, honey, oil, salt, and garlic. Cover and process or blend until nearly smooth.

    2. Pour marinade over meat; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain meat, discarding marinade.

    3. In a grill with a cover arrange hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium-hot heat above the pan. Place meat on the grill rack over drip pan. Cover and grill for 40 to 50 minutes or until juices run clear (160 degree F).

    4. If desired, garnish the meat with additional fresh oregano. Makes 6 servings.
