Ingredients

0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 (10 ounce) pork tenderloins, trimmed of fat

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together cilantro, chipotle chiles, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, and cumin until thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Remove any excess air, seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for approximately 6 hours to infuse the flavors.
Take the tenderloins out of the marinade, shaking off any extra. Discard the remaining marinade. Allow the tenderloins to come to room temperature, which should take around 20 to 30 minutes.
While the tenderloins are resting, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Place the tenderloins on the preheated grill and cook until the centers are slightly pink, about 10 minutes on each side. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) when inserted into the center of the tenderloins.
