Ingredients
1 lb Smithfield® Prime Pork Tenderloin, trimmed
2 tsp Orange Zest
1/4 cup Juice from a Large Orange
1 1/2 tsp Chipotle Chili Powder
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 Avocados, pitted, peeled and cut into chunks
1 Tbs Red Wine Vinegar
2 Roma (plum) Tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
2 Tbs Finely Chopped Fresh Cilantro
1/4 cup Finely Chopped Red Onion
12 6-inch Corn Tortillas
Toppings (optional): Shredded lettuce
Toppings (optional): Shredded Cheese
Directions

1. Place tenderloin in a large shallow dish. In a small bowl combine orange zest, orange juice, garlic and chili powder. Pour over tenderloin; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

 

2. Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high (350°F to 400°F). Remove pork from marinade; discard marinade. Grill pork, covered, 12 to 14 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 145°F (medium-rare), turning occasionally. Remove pork from grill; let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

 

3. Meanwhile, for the salsa, place avocados in a medium bowl; drizzle with vinegar. Add tomatoes, cilantro, onion, and salt and pepper to taste; mix well.

 

4. Evenly place pork into tortillas. Garnish with salsa and desired toppings, and serve.

 

Cook’s tip: If using an oven, preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat foil with nonstick cooking spray. Remove pork from marinade; discard marinade, and pat pork dry. Roast pork 20 to 25 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 145°F.
