An entire can of chipotle chiles may sound like a lot, but because it is in the brine, the heat in the pork is subtle. Mexican oregano is stronger and not as sweet as the more typical Greek oregano, though that's an acceptable substitute. Leftover pork also freezes well for up to two months.
This recipe is fantastic! The pork was very moist and flavorful. The chiles give it a nice smoky flavor and it is not very spicy. I used the usual Greek oregano and not the specified Mexican oregano. The lime juice tbat ran off the pork started to burn on the bottom of the pan, so added a little water to the pan. Problem solved. Served with mashed sweet potatoes.
Most juicy pork I have ever eaten!!! Loved this recipe. Great with some cut up veggies roasted in the spicy porky sauce next to the loin.
Made it with 2 tenderloins for my supper club. This was great - great flavor, very moist, and I'm excited to use the leftovers for sandwiches.
