Once you've slathered the pork tenderloin with the flavorful chile-lime mixture, let it sit for a few minutes so the meat fully soaks up the rub. To seal in all those juices, make sure to brown the pork before you braise. Then, make sure to simmer the meat with lime, chiles and cilantro for max flavor. Set your favorite toppings out for guests to mix and match and dinner is served.
