Ingredients:
1 canned chipotle chili in adobo plus 1 tsp. adobo sauce 
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c. orange juice
3 Tbsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. red-wine vinegar
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
8 oz. pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat

Directions:
Combine chipotle and sauce, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a blender or mini food processor; blend or process until the chipotle is chopped and the mixture is relatively smooth.  Pour into a sealable plastic bag, add pork and seal, squeezing out any excess air from the bag.  Turn to coat with the marinade.  Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.

Preheat grill to high or heat a large indoor grill pan over high heat.  Remove the pork from the marinade (discard marinade).  Grill the pork, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted diagonally into the center of the meat registers 145 degrees, 12-15 minutes.  Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
