Spicy and Sweet Pork Tacos

These tacos feature tender pork marinated in a sweet and spicy mango habanero sauce, grilled to perfection, and served in warm tortillas. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

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

Prepare the Marinade: In a blender, combine diced mango, habanero peppers, honey, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.
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.
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).
Rest and Slice: Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
Warm the Tortillas: While the pork is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place slices of grilled pork on each tortilla, top with chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
