This is one flavorful entree with a lot of kick! Heat from the chipotle really comes through, and mustard-lovers are sure to savor this fun, fast-fixing meal maker. Serve with plenty of ice-cold lemonade or iced tea. Linda Foreman - Locust Grove, OK

Chipotle Mustard Pork Tenderloin Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + marinating Grill: 25 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 25 40

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey Dijon mustard
1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
Chopped honey-roasted peanuts, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade from pork. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill pork, covered, over indirect medium-hot heat for 25-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
Heat reserved mustard mixture; brush over pork before serving. Sprinkle with peanuts if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

I actually baked this in the oven instead of grilling. It has a lot of good flavor and using the extra sauce definitely gives it a lot of spice! I wish I had remembered to use the honey-roasted peanuts because they could have cooled it down a bit.
