See Cooking Videos
Lean pork is a terrific source of protein, B vitamins and zinc. As the leanest cut of pork, tenderloin has only 133 calories and 4 grams of fat in a 3-ounce serving; it also adapts well to a wide variety of flavors and cooking methods. Here the pork may be grilled outside on a gas or charcoal grill or inside on a stovetop grill.
INGREDIENTS
| 1 | tablespoon chili powder |
| 1/2 | teaspoon garlic powder |
| 1 | pound pork tenderloin |
| 2 | Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped |
| 1 | can (4 ounces) diced mild green chiles |
| 1/4 | cup lemon juice |
| 3 | tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro |
| 1 | clove garlic, minced |
| 1 | teaspoon dried oregano |
| 1/2 | teaspoon salt |
PREPARATION:
- Spray grid well with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Combine chili powder and garlic powder in small bowl; mix well. Coat pork with spice mixture.
- Grill pork 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until internal temperature reaches 165°F when tested with meat thermometer in thickest part of tenderloin. Transfer roast to cutting board; cover with foil. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Internal temperature will continue to rise 5°F to 10°F during stand time.
