Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin

So, did you know that a chipotle pepper is really just a jalapeno that has stayed on the plant too long, turned, red, then smoked?  This recipe can be very hot...so if you don't like spicy, tone down the chili powder.  Also, the longer you marinate it, the hotter it is.  I marinated it 24 hours once, and it was SUPER hot!

Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin

1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp chipotle chili powder (I found this at Publix in the McCormick seasonings, but I've also been told it's hard to find)
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp brown sugar
1 pork tenderloin
Mix above ingredients in large ziploc bag.  Add pork, marinate in refrigerator at least one hour.  Grill over medium high heat until pork is no longer pink.
