The grilled Italian pork tenderloin is a classic Chilean sandwich, perfect for those looking for a hearty and flavorful lunch. This recipe combines a juicy pork loin seasoned with spices like merquén, garlic, and onion powder, cooked on a griddle until golden. It is served on a crusty bun spread with mashed avocado and mayonnaise, accompanied by tomato, lettuce, and chili strips. It is ideal for casual occasions, gatherings with friends, or to treat yourself on a weekend.
Its combination of textures and flavors makes it irresistible: the smoothness of the avocado with the citrusy touch of lemon, the crunch of the toasted bread, and the intense taste of the marinated pork. Plus, it's an easy and quick recipe, perfect even for beginner cooks.
You can adapt the seasonings to your taste: if you don't have merquén, use smoked paprika or chili flakes. You can also add melted cheese or a fried egg to make it even more complete. Serve it with french fries or, as in the original recipe, with cooked corn sticks.
