Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb cubed pork tenderloin to the marinade, tossing well to coat all pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated pork cubes evenly onto 6 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4: Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes total, turning every 3 minutes, until pork is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Step 5: Remove from grill and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
