Ingredients

  • 14 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil (plus more for the grill)
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder or 2 teaspoons dried chipotle powder
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Method

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the orange juice, lime juice, oil, sugar, ancho powder, garlic, pepper flakes and salt.
  • Add the pork, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  • Thread the pork and mango cubes onto the skewers, alternating them and beginning and ending with a piece of pork.
  • Each skewer should have about 5 pieces of pork and 4 pieces of mango.
  • Prepare a medium gas or charcoal grill fire.
  • Scrub the grill grate with a wire brush and then wipe clean with a paper towel dipped in oil.
  • Cook the skewers, turning once, until the meat is browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Serve garnished with the cilantro.
