Taco Seasoned Pork Loin on grillSouthwest 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?

The Best Grilled Pork Tenderloin Recipe!

You know what else I love about grilling a pork tenderloin?

It’s pretty much inherently healthy as with most grilled food. It’s so much easier to eat healthy when you are grilling! I love to throw my favorite baked potatoes on the grill along with some corn on the cob and I instantly have a meal that’s delicious, easy and healthy!

Like, seriously, can summer last all year long?

Ingredients Needed for Southwest Pork Tenderloin

How to Make Southwest Pork Tenderloin

Like I said before this is so EASY to make anyone can pull it off! It only has three ingredients.

First place your pork tenderloins on a baking sheet or cutting board. Then give them a good rub all over with the olive oil.

After that grab your taco seasoning and rub it all over the entire pork tenderloin. Let it rest for 15 minutes. Preheat your grill to 350 degrees F at this time.

Place pork loins on grill and grill for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.

Remove from grill, cover with foil for 15 minutes and then slice!
