Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp fresh lime juice to create a vibrant marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb pork tenderloin cut into 1-inch cubes to the marinade and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3 hours, to absorb the flavors.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated pork cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, dividing evenly.
  4. Step 4: Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes total, turning every 3 minutes, until pork is cooked through and has charred grill marks.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
