Preparation

Step 1

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

Preheat grill, heating one side to medium-high and the other side to medium-low.

Grill tenderloins, covered, over medium-high heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers registers 150°, 12–15 minutes. Remove tenderloins from grill and tent with foil. Let tenderloins rest while preparing tortillas.

For the tacos, top tortillas with 2 Tbsp. each of refried beans and cheese. Place tortillas over medium-low heat and cook just until cheese melts, 1–2 minutes.

Cut tenderloins into thick slices. Top each tortilla with sliced pork; serve with Grilled Salsa Roja.
