Ingredients
2
pork tenderloins
about 2.5 pounds
2
tablespoons
olive oil
2
tablespoons
chili powder blend – I used a combination of ancho
cayenne, garlic and Spanish paprika, but a nice Cajun blend is great
2
cups
Sweet and Savory Chili Sauce
1/2
cup
shredded Manchego cheese
Limes for serving
Instructions
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Heat a large roasting pan to medium heat on the stove.
Drizzle the pork tenderloins with olive oil, then rub them down with your dry seasonings.
Sear the tenderloins a couple minutes per side to brown them up. This will help seal in the juiciness.
Pour in the Sweet and Savory Chili Sauce to cover the tenderloins. Use more if you’d like.
Transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145-150 degrees F.
Remove from heat and let rest a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Top with a bit of shredded Manchego chees and squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over the top.
Notes
We served ours with some simple roasted Brussels Sprouts!
