In my Mexican table for the holidays we always have pork and this year I am suggesting a Chipotle Prune Pork Loin a sweet, spicy and delightful dish. Great addition to a Thanksgiving or holiday menu.

Ingredients for the Chipotle Prune Pork Loin

This Chipotle Prune Pork Loin was a favorite dish in my mom’s table. We were always looking forward to this one and also to eat on tortas or baguettes following day. Nothing like “recalentado”. I don’t know why but food the day after has been cooked tastes even better than the day it was served.
