Chili-Lime Pork Tenderloin

What a great meal this turned out to be! Making pork tenderloin is always such an easy dinner fix and always juicy and tender. However, until I started using a meat thermometer, my pork tenderloin was always dry. If you don’t have one, I highly suggest getting one. Your pork will always be perfect! This has a nice spicy kick…
