This recipe features tender pork marinated in a cilantro lime mixture, grilled to perfection, and topped with fresh mango salsa. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
- Corn or flour tortillas
- Additional cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the pork tenderloin and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Mango Salsa: In another bowl, mix diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Cook the Pork: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated pork for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the pork rests, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Slice the grilled pork and place it on the warm tortillas. Top with mango salsa and additional cilantro if desired.
- Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
