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.

1	tablespoon chili powder
1/2	teaspoon garlic powder
1	pound pork tenderloin

1	can (4 ounces) diced mild green chiles
1/4	cup lemon juice
3	tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

1	teaspoon dried oregano
1/2	teaspoon salt

PREPARATION:

Spray grid well with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
