Preparation

Step 1

For the pork, whisk together orange juice, oil, lime juice, garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and pepper flakes. Place tenderloin in a baking dish; pour marinade over meat. Cover dish and chill tenderloin until ready to grill, up to 2 hours.

Prepare grill for two-zone grilling, heating one side to medium-high
and the other side to medium-low. Brush grill grate with oil.

Grill pork, covered, over medium high, turning often, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 140°, 15–20 minutes. Remove tenderloin from grill and tent with foil; let rest while preparing tortillas.

For the tortillas, top each with 2 Tbsp. beans and 2 Tbsp. cheese. Place tortillas over medium-low and grill just until cheese melts, 1–2 minutes.
Cut tenderloin into thin slices. Top each tortilla with sliced pork;
serve with Salsa Verde.
