Ingredients
- 1 (1 lb.) pork tenderloin
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk
- 2 Tbsp. chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- Juice from 1 (8 oz.) can pineapple tidbits
- 1/4 cup minced cilantro, with extra sprigs for garnish (if desired)
- 1 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 2 oz. chorizo, loose or casing removed
- 1 Tbsp. lite soy sauce
Directions
- Place pork in resealable plastic bag, add coconut milk, peppers, pineapple juice and cilantro; seal bag and toss to blend well. Refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a large shallow roasting pan with cooking spray. Dry potato cubes well with paper towels and toss with olive oil; spread potatoes in pan; crumble chorizo evenly over potatoes. Remove pork from marinade, discarding marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. Keeping potatoes and chorizo in a single layer, place pork in center of roasting pan.
- Roast pork and potatoes for 20 to 30 minutes until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees, stirring potatoes occasionally for even browning. Brush pork with soy sauce during final 5 minutes of roasting and allow the tenderloin to rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving. Slice pork; serve potatoes alongside. Garnish with cilantro sprigs if desired.
