I made the pork tenderloin tonight...and then I made tortatinis out of it...and then I made dessert tortatinis, too!!

I got a 1lb pork tenderloin - $5.99
I drizzled a tiny bit of EVOO on it and sprinkled a lot of the Citrus Basil Rub all over. Miked it for 10mins. (it woulda been better at 9 but oh well)

While it was miking, I diced up a tomato and pulled out the tortillas and shredded mozz cheese and some dijon mustard.

I let it sit for a minute or two after the mike went off. Then I sliced it pretty thin using my carving set - in the middle of the tortilla I placed some tomatoes and some shredded mozz. Then 3 slices pork, and a small dollop of dijon mustard. I folded it envelope style and grilled it w/the grill press on the grill pan. Less than minute per side gave it nice dark grill marks. AMAZING!!

tHEN...i TOOK NUTELLA AND SLICED BANANAS and made dessert tortatinis !!!

DELISH!!!!
