Roasted Pork Tenderloin Tacos

Good, solid recipe.  First time using mojo marinade.  I did grill the pork on our Traeger.  We enjoyed the onion prep.  Didn't have crema on hand so used some light Daisy sour cream mixed with a squeeze of lemon and some salt.  I opted to omit the jalapeno but DH loved it.  Will make again - quick and easy weeknight meal.

Okay, sorry to be a review downer, but I just didn't find these to be that great. I actually thought they really lacked flavor and the meat wasn't my favorite. Plus cook for 8 minutes? Ha! Mine took much longer to reach 145 degrees. Overall, I just don't think I'd go through the trouble of making these again.

This was good but not one of my favorites, I would make it again. Seems the pork needed something more, just not sure what that would be maybe just more Moyo and we really didn't like the cooked onion. I was not familiar with Mojo so I bought the Goya Bitter Orange because that is all that was available at the store and priced at $2.59. My changes: The smallest tenderloin I could find that day was 1 1/4 lbs so I used it all, I used 4 T of mojo, 1 red onion, and of course I didn't measure the Crema I just took what I wanted. What I would do next time is not prepare the onion in the vinegar, water & white wine vinegar, I would just use the raw red onion, and I would season the pork loin a bit more with Salt, pepper and mojo.

I normally don't like pork, but I thought this was delicious and so did my husband. The Goya mojo marinade gave it a lot of flavor and was very inexpensive, so it is worth buying (or making!). The onions were very easy to make and I liked the mellow taste after they were pickled a bit. The tacos ended up looking just like the picture - very pretty! The only drawback is that the pork took a LOT longer to get to 145 degrees than the 8 minutes stated in the recipe. My tenderloin was about 1.5 lbs (so bigger than the recipe called for) but it took a solid 35-40 minutes in the oven in addition to the 5 minutes on the stove to get to 145...which kind of made for a long prep time for a weeknight meal.

This was a dynamite recipe!! Absolutely loved it! I think the real flavor is in the mojo marinade. Not wanting to buy a giant bottle that I would use once, I made my own mojo marinade. Quick and easy recipe on Allrecipes.com. I just put a pinch of everything in a small dish and mixed it together. Also, I used pre-sliced flank steak made for stir-fry. Delicious flavors!

made this last night… WOW. Super fast and delicious. Seasoned Pork with Cumin as well as S&P, and the tenderloin could have stayed in the oven a minute longer... Lite Daisy Sourcream with lime juice instead of Mexican Crema. I served it for myself over a bed of lettuce, but I know the corn tortillas were just as good (my boyfriend told me so). Pretty presentation… Up there on the list of my favorite CL Taco recipes for sure.
