Method

Cooking the Pork Tenderloin

Prepare the Rub

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin.

Sear the Pork

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Roast the Pork

Transfer the seared pork to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Preparing Papas a la Mexicana

Cook the Potatoes

In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook until golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Add Vegetables

Stir in diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, seasoning with salt.

Roasting Sweet Corn

Prepare the Corn

Preheat the grill. Brush the husked corn with butter and sprinkle with salt.

Grill the Corn

Grill the corn over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender.

Making Mango Habanero Glaze

Combine Ingredients

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine mango puree, minced habanero, honey, and lime juice. Stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Assembly

Plate and Garnish

Slice the pork tenderloin and serve over papas a la Mexicana. Top with roasted sweet corn, drizzle the mango habanero glaze, and garnish with queso fresco and cilantro.
