2day's recipe: Adobo Pork Tenderloin

Recipe time!  Here is a dish I cook for my clients.  WARNING: chipotle chiles, in adobo sauce are HOT!  I would stick to the recipe as is and not add any additional chilies or the sauce.  But that is just me!  I serve this with Roasted New Potatoes with Veggies (use the same veggies except the chiles and add others if you would like - mushrooms, EVOO, butter, s&P, a little honey on 425 for about 30-45 mins.  toss about every 15mins) Enjoy!
