Serves: 6

Tired of the same old beef and chicken? Get outside and grill the "other white meat" at your next barbecue.

INGREDIENTS:

2 whole pork tenderloins (about 1-1/2 lbs. total) or 6 pork chops
4 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon dried garlic powder

DIRECTIONS:
1. Mix together chili powder, oregano, cumin, and garlic powder.
2. Rub over the surface of pork.
3. Cover and refrigerate 2-24 hours.
4. Grill over medium hot coals, or broil. Turn occasionally.
5. Tenderloins will take 25-20 minutes; pork chops will be ready in 10-15 minutes. Meat thermometer should read 155-160 degrees F. Pork is done when there is still a hint of pink in the center.
