Directions
For the salsa, place tomatillos, green tomatoes and garlic on a plate. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with salt and pepper. Place in a grill at 350 F and allow to smoke for 30 minutes. Remove from grill, add all ingredients except corn to a food processor or a blender and pulse. Remove, stir in corn kernels and serve with chips and fajitas.
Add all ingredients except pork tenderloin together, and whisk. Reserve 1 tablespoon marinade. Add tenderloin to a resealable bag and pour marinade over. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Remove from marinade and shake off excess. Sear on a skillet placed in a 400 F grill, until each piece is 135 F, around 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest. Saute onions and peppers and 1 tablespoon reserved marinade until softened. Grill tortillas to warm and serve.
