- 2 1 pound pork tenderloins
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon ground chili powder
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium.
- Rub pork tenderloins with oil. Drizzle with lime juice. Combine dried spices in a bowl and then sprinkle evenly on tenderloins.

- Reduce temperature to low and cover with grill lid. Continued to cook pork covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees, turning occasionally.
Notes
Spice Variations: Switch up the flavors by using lemon pepper and extra black pepper, or experiment with your favorite spice blends.
Alternative Cooking: Brown in a hot skillet, then bake in the oven until it reaches 145°F (or 160°F for well done).
Smoking Option: For smoky flavor, cook on a pellet grill at 225°F for about 2½ hours until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Storage Tips: Store leftover grilled pork tenderloin in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
