Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons honey
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 3 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
• 2 (10 ounce) pork tenderloins, trimmed of fat

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk cilantro, chiles, garlic, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and cumin together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add pork tenderloins, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 hours.

Step 2

Remove tenderloins from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade and bring pork to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 4

Grill tenderloins on the preheated grill until slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
