Recipe View Cook to Perfection: Grill the pork, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C). This should take approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the tenderloins and the heat of your grill. (15-20 minutes)

Recipe View Rest and Serve: Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product. (5-10 minutes)

For best flavor, use fresh citrus juice and good-quality tequila.
If you don't have a grill, you can roast the pork in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
