Chipotle Marinated Pork Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 chipotle chile in adobo
    1 teaspoon adobo sauce
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1/2 cup orange juice
    3 tablespoons lime juice
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
    8 ounces pork tenderloin
Preparation
    Combine chipotle and sauce, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a blender or mini food processor; blend or process until the chipotle is chopped and the mixture is relatively smooth. Pour into a sealable plastic bag, add pork and seal, squeezing out any excess air from the bag. Turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
    Preheat grill to high or heat a large indoor grill pan over high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of the meat registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
    NOTE: you can use the same marinade for a 1 pound tenderloin, however, the cooking time will be longer.
