  • step 1
    ingredients 1 Poblano pepper
    1 Jalapeno pepper
    instructions Heat a gas grill to high heat. Place poblano pepper and jalapeno pepper onto preheated grill and grill on all sides until blackened and blistered, approximately 3 minutes per side.
  • step 2
    ingredients   
    instructions Place peppers into a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for at least 5 minutes. Turn off half of the grill burners. 
  • step 3
    ingredients 2 teaspoons Unsweetened cocoa
    1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
    1/2 teaspoon Ancho chili powder
    1/4 teaspoon Ground coriander
    1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
    1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
    1.5 pounds Pork tenderloin
    instructions Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the cocoa, cumin, paprika, chili powder, coriander, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Using a paper towel, wipe excess moisture from the pork tenderloin. Rub the spice mixture into the tenderloin. 
  • step 4
    ingredients   
    instructions Place tenderloin onto heated side of grill and grill until browned on all sides, approximately 3 - 4 minutes per side. Move pork tenderloin to unheated side of grill, close cover and cook until tenderloin is 160 - 170 degrees or desired doneness. Remove from grill, cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes. 
  • step 5
    ingredients
    1/4 teaspoon Finely grated garlic
    1 Shallot (minced)
    1 Mango (finely chopped)
    3/4 cup Finely chopped papaya
    1 1/2 teaspoons Lime zest
    2 teaspoons White balsamic vinegar
    2 teaspoons Fresh chopped cilantro
    1 Lime (cut into wedges)
    1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
    1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
    instructions While tenderloin cooks, remove and discard the charred skin and seeds from the peppers. Finely chop the peppers, place into a medium bowl (if jalapeno pepper is too spicy, add amount to your taste). Add in the garlic, shallot, mango, papaya, lime zest, vinegar, cilantro, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until fully combined and set aside. 
  • step 6
    ingredients 1 can of Bush's Sweet Mesquite Grillin' Beans
    instructions To serve, slice tenderloin into 1/2-inch slices, evenly divide between serving plates, staggering the pieces across the plate. Top with the salsa, squeeze a lime wedge over each serving and garnish with additional cilantro. Serve with Bush’s Sweet Mesquite Grillin’ Beans and enjoy!
