Ingredients

• 1 lb, trimmed pork tenderloin
• 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 3 tbsp, divided olive oil
• 3, minced garlic cloves
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed black beans
• 1 small, diced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup, finely chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp, divided salt
• 1/2 tsp, divided black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place 1 lb trimmed pork tenderloin in a resealable bag and pour marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove pork from marinade and pat dry. Grill pork tenderloin, turning occasionally, for 15-18 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
3. Step 3: While the pork cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 small diced red bell pepper and 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
4. Step 4: Add 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed black beans, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3 more minutes until beans are warmed through. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
5. Step 5: Let the grilled pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve pork slices atop the warm spiced black bean salad.
