Pork Tenderloin Tacos with Chimichurri

The highlight of this taco is the chimichurri. If you haven’t already heard about this sauce, you should really try it and ask yourself why you didn’t try it sooner. It is spicy, limey, tangy, creamy and perfect as a marinade or sauce for grilled meat. I always make a big batch as one of my kitchen staples.
