In the Mexican kitchen, cecina enchilada is thinly sliced pork marinated in a chili sauce (but despite the name it is not made into enchiladas). For our version, we make a chili-and-garlic-infused oil and use a portion of it to season pork tenderloin cutlets before quickly grilling them. The remaining oil is made into a sauce/marinade to drizzle on after grilling to add a fresh burst of flavor. Serve with Mexican rice and refried beans, or slice into strips and offer warmed corn tortillas, chopped white onion, fresh cilantro for making tacos.

Tip

Don't grill the second sides of the cutlets for more than about 1 minute or they will overcook. Aim to get charring on only the first sides, then serve the pork charred side up.
