Tried this recipe the other night and it was AMAZING!  I love the flavors; lime, cilantro, chipotle and chili powder, so delicious!

Enjoy!

CHILI LIME PORK MEDALLIONS

2-3 pounds pork tenderloin, sliced into 3/4-inch thick medallions

Sauce:
3 tablespoons lime juice
Zest of 1 lime
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 small shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons coconut oil
Sea salt & pepper to taste

1)  Season the pork medallions with salt and pepper on both sides.

2)  In a food processor, blender or using an immersion blender, puree the sauce ingredients until blended and smooth.

3) In a large pan or an electric skillet set to medium heat, heat the coconut oil.  Place the pork in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes or until it has browned on one side.  Turn the pork over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side has browned.

4)  Pour the sauce into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through, about 4 minutes.

5)  Serve the pork with the sauce spooned over the top.
