Ingredients

  • One 1-pound pork tenderloin
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons Cholula hot sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Start off by placing the pork tenderloin and all of the rest of the ingredients in a plastic bag and mixing them thoroughly until a marinade is formed. You’ll want to place this inside of your refrigerator and marinate for approximately 4-6 hours.

Once the marination process is finished, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. 

While the oven is preheating, remove the marinated pork tenderloin from the bag and place into a large skillet on your stove on medium-high heat. Cook evenly on all sides for 3-4 minutes, or until the exterior of the tenderloin is browned.

Finally, place the tenderloin on an oven sheet and cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meat has reached 145 degrees F. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
