Pork Tenderloin with Mango, Kebobs and more

When I saw this recipe in Every Day with Rachael Ray, Pork Tenderloin with Mango, I knew that we had to try it.  First of all we love pork tenderloin because it's relatively low in fat and sodium, which fits our cooking scheme perfectly. This recipe is fast cooking, and easy to prepare with only a few ingredients., pork tenderloin, mango, scalliions, and the marinade. Besides the mango,  the key to the recipe is the marinade, which is sweet and spicy with a little heat at the same time with cumin, jalapeno, chili powder, brown sugar , and pineapple juice.  We have since used the marinade  on bone in pork chops, which turned out wonderfully and I can't wait to try the marinade with grilled chicken.. 

The marinade is a  versatile recipe, because when we made it for the chops, we didn't have any pineapple juice, and used Trader Joe's  Orange, Peach, Mango juice.  We were also out of the Ancho chile powder, so we just put in a few red pepper flakes  and it was fine. Secondly, the recipe has has mango in it and I love mango in anything, drinks, appetizers, desserts, salads, main dishes, ice cream, or just plain with a squeeze of lime for breakfast. Yum!
