Ingredients

RED HOT CHILE MARINADE:
1/2 teaspoon ground chile de Arbol powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon Roasted-Garlic Puree, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon cane syrup or light molasses
1/2 teaspoon ground Mexican oregano
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 pounds trimmed pork tenderloin
1 teaspoon, plus 1/2 teaspoon Angel Dust Cajun Seasoning, recipe follows
1 teaspoon Dry Rub Jerk Seasoning, recipe follows
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground chile de Arbol powder
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Skewers (if wooden, soaked in water)

Directions

To make the marinade,
heat the chile de Arbol powder, ancho chile powder, cayenne, and cumin for 45 to 60
seconds in a small saute pan over medium-low heat. Transfer the spice mixture to a small
bowl, and whisk in the orange juice, water, garlic puree, cane syrup, and oregano.
Gradually whisk in the oil in a steady stream.

Season the meat with 1 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning and the jerk seasoning. Place pork
into a plastic resealable bag, add the marinade, and seal the bag. Marinate in the
refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.

When ready to cook, heat a charcoal or gas grill. Remove the pork from the plastic bag
and discard the marinade. Slice the tenderloin into 12 equal portions. Working with 1
piece at a time, place a piece of pork between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound out to a
thickness of 1/8-inch. Complete with remaining tenderloin pieces. Combine the remaining
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning with the salt, pepper, and chile de Arbol powder. Lightly
brush both sides of the meat with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning mixture. Thread
each piece of pork onto a skewer (for stability, use 2 skewers for each piece of meat).
Grill over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve immediately
with Cilantro-Cucumber Tzatzki Sauce (see separate
recipe).
