Author Notes

When the tenderloin has come off the fire and is resting, take this time to grill up some lemon and lime halves. Serve on the platter with the sliced pork. The fresh juice will help brighten up the flavor. This recipe was written by the Healthline Editorial Team: http://www.healthline.com/health-recipes/margarita-pork-tenderloin —Healthline

Delicious and easy! I cooked it in a cast-iron skillet on the stove instead of out on the grill, got it good and seared, it was amazing. Served it with some sautéed peppers and onions, the kids made fajitas. This will go into heavy rotation!.
