Chipotle Pork With Strawberry-Avocado Salsa

Submitted by JenniferK2

"This was printed in our local newspaper. Prep time includes marinating. I made it the other night and it was wonderful. I did need to grill the pork for longer, but the tenderloins I had were kind of thick. I also used a little more lime juice in the "marinade", which I found to be more like a wet-rub than a marinade."

This shocked us! We weren't really sure how all these different flavors would taste together. We had a pleasant surprise. You get a subtle touch of heat with the pork and the salsa has a nice blast of refreshing flavors. I hated to throw out the marinate. I could see heating it and serving it on top of the pork. Overall a great recipe. Thanks JenniferK2 for posting.
