Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin 16 oz
- 1 can peaches in 100% juice 15 oz
- ½ jalapeño seeded
- 4 limes juiced, divided
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 bunch cilantro finely chopped
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce thinly sliced
- 1 can sweet corn 15.25 oz., drained and rinsed
- 1 large avocado sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 4 oz cotija cheese crumbled or shredded Mexican-style cheese (optional)
- ½ cup tortilla strips or 12 tortilla chips crushed, optional
Instructions
- To make peach-jalapeño jam, add peaches, jalapeño, 2 tbsp lime juice and a pinch of salt and black pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a small pot; bring to a simmer, uncovered over medium heat. Simmer for 5-8 minutes until mixture begins to thicken. Remove the pan from heat. Let the jam cool for a few minutes.
- Place 3 tbsp peach-jalapeño jam into a large jar to use for the vinaigrette. Set aside.
- Pour ½ cup of the peach-jalapeño jam into a large plastic freezer bag.* Place pork tenderloin into the bag. Seal bag and gently shake until tenderloin is fully coated with jam. Place bag in the refrigerator and marinate tenderloin for at least 2 hours or, for best results, marinate overnight.
- Preheat grill to 400° F. Grill marinated pork tenderloin, rotating every 3-5 minutes. Continue to rotate until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145° F. Remove tenderloin from grill; let rest for 3 minutes. Thinly slice.
- To make cilantro-lime vinaigrette, grab the reserved peach-jalapeño jam jar from step 2. Add olive oil, ¼ cup lime juice, mustard, honey, cilantro and a pinch of salt and black pepper to the jar. Cover and shake vigorously to mix the vinaigrette.
- Place lettuce, corn, avocado and cherry tomatoes in a large salad bowl. Top with cheese and tortilla strips, if desired. Place peach-jalapeño pork tenderloin slices on top of the salad; drizzle generously with cilantro-lime vinaigrette. Toss, serve and enjoy!
