Directions

1Butterfly the pork loin by cutting down the length of the loin about halfway, starting at the thick end. Flatten it so that it is of even length of the loin about halfway, starting at the thick end. Mix chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper and massage into the meat on both sides. Put it into a plastic bag and let it marinate.
2Grill the pork tenderloin over a hot grill, about 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F., brushing with the melted hot pepper jelly on each side to glaze.
3Remove to cutting board, allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing on the diagonal into thin slices and place slices onto a warm platter. Squeeze oranges over the sliced meat, sprinkle with cilantro.
4Serving suggestions: Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas and pico de gallo made with mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeno and garlic or peach salsa.
