Chorizo & Cream Cheese Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients:
•Pork Tenderloin
•Chorizo
•Cream Cheese
•Garlic Powder
•Adobo
•Cattleman Steak Seasoning
•Buttery Steakhouse Seasoning
•BBQ Sauce
Filet your tenderloin and pound with a meat tenderizer until it’s 1/4 of an inch thick. Season both sides with seasonings listed above.
Use half a block of cream cheese and spread it all over your tenderloin, it’ll slide at first but the more you work it in it’ll begin to stick!
Next layer your chorizo over the top, I usually get the Cacique brand and use half of it per tenderloin!
Roll it up and at this point you can secure it with kitchen twine if you feel the need.
Place into oven preheated to 350° degrees and bake for 30-40 minutes , halfway through brushing it with a thin layer of barbecue sauce!

Chorizo & Cream Cheese Stuffed Pork Tenderloin is a fantastic dish that combines the rich flavors of chorizo and cream cheese with the tenderness of pork. To create this standout meal, start by selecting a high-quality pork tenderloin, which is known for its lean meat and subtle flavor that pairs beautifully with bold ingredients. Preparing the tenderloin involves filleting and pounding it to an even thickness, allowing for an even cook and better texture. Use seasoning blends such as adobo and steak seasoning to enhance the flavors of the meat. The stuffing is where the magic truly happens. Cream cheese acts as a creamy base that melds perfectly with the spicy, flavorful chorizo. This combination not only adds moisture but also depth to each bite. Be sure to choose a chorizo that suits your taste, whether it be spicy or mild! Optionally, secure your rolled tenderloin with kitchen twine to maintain its shape during baking. As it roasts in a preheated oven, the flavors meld beautifully, and brushing with barbecue sauce adds an additional layer of flavor and helps create a nice glaze. In just 30-40 minutes, you'll have a dish that's perfect for any occasion—from family dinners to elegant gatherings. Impress your guests and family with this delightful and unique stuffed pork tenderloin!
