Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin


These were very yummy, but very spicy. I did not have a whole loin, but I did have some loin chops, so I just marinated those instead and cooked them in a skillet. Next time I will definitely cut the amount of chipotle powder in half and maybe add a touch more brown sugar. Also, I used real garlic. I prefer it to the powder. But I just love garlic anyway.
This is a good recipe for adults, but I would not recommend it for kids. My husband yummed them up, but he was sweeting. LOL
