“I first made these for a summer barbecue with guests who love traditional BBQ pork sandwiches but wanted something lighter. They loved these and didn’t miss the extra calories one bit. Crunchy coleslaw tames the heat!” Priscilla Yee - Concord, California

Chipotle BBQ Pork Sandwiches Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Grill: 20 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

20 20 40

Ingredients

1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
1-1/2 cups coleslaw mix
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons Miracle Whip Light
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 hamburger buns, split

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey and peppers. Set aside 1/4 cup until serving.
Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan.
Place pork over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 20-25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°, basting occasionally with remaining barbecue sauce. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, combine the coleslaw mix, sour cream, Miracle Whip Light and mustard. Brush cut sides of buns with reserved barbecue sauce. Cut pork into 1/4-in. slices; place on bun bottoms. Top with coleslaw and bun tops. Yield: 4 servings.

A favorite! I ended up throwing out my pulled pork recipe, since the flavor is similar and this is much healthier! We eat this often.

This turned out sooo moist...cut it much thinner though. Remove the seeds in the peppers. I suggest doubling, it's THAT good!!!

Fantasticly delicious and easy! The only thing I would do next time is make double the recipe for left overs. My family couldn't get enough!

Outstanding! I really enjoy chipotle peppers and this sandwich with the heat of the chipotles & the crunchy cool of the coleslaw mix was a real winner. Excellent. I will absolutely be enjoying this again! Thanks!!
