Roasted Adobo Pork Tacos

Servings:4

Because this sauce, with its hint of orange and garlic, is so good, you’ll want to keep it handy to try on shrimp, grilled tuna, or fried eggs. It also works well as a marinade.

Ingredients

For the sauce

  • 3 large ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 3 medium cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne; more to taste
  • Kosher salt

For the tacos

  • 1 to 1-1/4 lb. pork tenderloin
  • 6 small tortillas, preferably corn, warmed
  • 1 medium avocado, quartered, peeled, andvcut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

Make the sauce

  • Soak the chiles in hot water to soften, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender. Add the orange juice, vinegar, garlic, oil, cumin, cayenne, and 1 tsp. salt, and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. (If not using right away, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days; the sauce can also be frozen.)

Make the tacos

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat the broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • 做一个纵向slit to butterfly the tenderloin, taking care not to cut all the way through to the opposite side. Open the tenderloin, cover with a sheet of plastic wrap, and gently flatten the meat with a meat pounder to an even thickness. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Pour half of the sauce over the tenderloin, and rub to coat the meat evenly. Put the rest of the sauce in a small serving bowl. Broil until charred in places, 3 to 5 minutes. flip and broil until cooked through (140°F). Transfer to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly and serve in warm tortillas topped with more sauce, avocado, onion, cheese, and cilantro, if you like.

    我这是写,除了我的烤肉n't working properly, so I grilled it, covered, without turning. The pork was perfectly cooked this way, and the char was a nice addition to flavor. The sauce, however, needs work. It was fairly bland, and a little too vinegary. I would cut down or eliminate the vinegar next time - orange juice was enough.
