Steps:
- In a small bowl mix together chili powder, oregano, cumin, and garlic powder.
- Place tenderloins or chops on a large platter. Rub the dry mixture over the pork, cover and refrigerate for 2-24 hours.
- Grill the pork over medium coals or this can also be broiled. Turn occasionally. Tenderloins will take approximately 25-30 minutes and pork chops will be done in approximately 10-15 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 155-160 degrees and there should also be a hint of pink in the center.

Steps:
- To make spice rub: In a small bowl stir together the cumin, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano and black pepper. Measure 1 1/2 teaspoons of the spice rub and set aside.
- Rub the remaining spice rub all over the pork tenderloin and set aside (if you are not going to grill the tenderloin within 30 minutes, refrigerate until needed).
- To make salad: In another small bowl whisk together the lime juice, reserved spice rub and olive oil. Set aside.
- Bring 2 medium pots of water to a boil. Add the corn to one pot and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and let cool. When cool enough to handle, cut the corn off of the cobs.
- Prepare grill and preheat to medium-high (see note).
- Add a large pinch of salt to the second pot and add the diced potatoes. Return to a boil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender, Drain and place in a large bowl. Toss the warm potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and let stand for a few minutes so the potatoes can absorb the dressing.
- Add the cut corn to the potatoes along with the red pepper, jalapeño, red and green onions and cilantro. Toss and add the remaining dressing. Toss again and set aside to allow the flavors to blend. Just before serving, taste and add additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Brush the prepared grill with oil and place the tenderloin in the center of the grill. Grill for 12 to 14 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees. Remove from grill, tent with aluminum foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Slice pork and serve with the salad.
- Note: To check grill temperature, count the seconds you can hold your hand, palm side down, 2 to 3 inches above the rack until it feels uncomfortable: 3 seconds for medium-hot.

Steps:
- To make the rub, combine all the ingredients except the pork and oil in a small bowl. Place the pork in a zip-close plastic bag and add the rub. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag; turn to coat the meat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Meanwhile, spray the grill rack with nonstick spray; preheat the grill to high or prepare a hot fire. Place the pork on the grill rack. Grill, turning, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°F for medium, 18 - 22 minutes. Transfer the pork to a platter and cover loosely with foil; let stand about 10 minutes. Cut into 12 slices. Yields about 3 slices per serving.
SOUTHWESTERN GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN
The tenderloin comes from the full pork loin. The tenderloin is one of the most tender cuts of pork. Typically, pork tenderloin weighs between ¾ and ½ pounds. Pork tenderloin makes an elegant entree for a small dinner party but also can be roasted or grilled whole for a quick weeknight dinner. When sliced crosswise (like a loaf of French bread), the resulting medallions also may be sauteed. Pork tenderloin has a mild flavor, so it's best when prepared with an added spice rub, marinade, stuffing or flavorful sauce. To keep the tenderloin juicy, cook to an internal temperature of 145/160.
