Wow! I think this is one of the best pork loins yet! I made half the recipe since I had a 1 lb. loin. One chipotle was plenty. I rubbed this all over the pork and marinaded for about 4-5 hours. I cooked the pork in our inside rotisserie and the flavor was phenomenal! The pork was so juicy and had a nice crunchy crust. It wasnt too spicy for the hubby either. It had nice flavor thru out. So good! I will make again and again! We both were "yumming" the whole time! Thanks for the great recipe!

Made tonight for dinner and it was really good. I had a 2lb pork sirloin roast, so I divided all the marinade ingredients in half, threw it all in the crockpot and let it cook on low for about 8 hrs. Very tender and full of flavor. If you are really looking for a "fiery" taste, don't cut back on the chipotles. I found this had nice flavor, but not what I would call spicy or "fiery". Thanks for sharing - will definitely make again.

This converts very nicely to the crockpot, using the marinade as the liquid to cook in. I increased the Chipotles and adobo, which made it very spicy (personal preference), crock pot on high for 6 hours, and then shredded it and added noodles. A great spicy dish!

I used a pork tenderloin and let it marinade for 24 hours or more. So tender, juicy and filled with flavour. Not as fiery as I thought it would be so next time will add more chipotles. Made for Everyday is a Hoilday Tag

A glorious taste sensation! I followed this and kept absolutely to this recipe; which, is well laid out, and a perfect, tender taste of the pork. I used a freshly, diced tomato, and wonderfully fresh orange juice. I don't see any changes to be made, (nor would you want to) and this is divine. Thank you, mikekey!
