Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1-2 habanero peppers, seeded and chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a blender, combine diced mango, habanero peppers, honey, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  2. Marinate the Pork: Place the pork tenderloin in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Grill the Pork: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the pork for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  4. Rest and Slice: Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
  5. Warm the Tortillas: While the pork is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  6. Assemble the Tacos: Place slices of grilled pork on each tortilla, top with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
