Southwest Pork Tenderloin

I will say that hands down pork tenderloins are one of my favorite things to throw on the grill. A quick seasoning and then 30 minutes on the grill gives me a juicy, tender pork tenderloin. This quick and easy Southwest Pork Tenderloin is only three ingredients and full of flavor!

As much as I love to grill pork tenderloins my husband adores a great Smoked Pork Loin so we make that for parties a lot because it’s so easy!

Plus, my kids love them too. Sometimes I feel like the only thing they want to eat is chicken. Does anyone else feel like that? Now, given the fact they often call pork, chicken instead, they eat it and I’m not going to correct them in fear of them deciding instantly they don’t like it!

Sometimes you just roll with the punches, ya know?
