Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place a sheet pan in the oven to preheat.
- Slice the pork tenderloin lengthwise, so it will open like a book, being careful to not cut all the way through. Open the loin and gently pound with a meat mallet until it is an even thickness and rectangular in shape.
- Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper. Spread the cream cheese in an even layer on the meat, leaving a 1/2 inch of pork uncovered around the edges. Spread the pesto on top of the cream cheese, then sprinkle on the pine nuts and sundried tomatoes. Top with an even layer of spinach. Starting on one of the longer sides of your rectangle, roll the meat closed into a long tube and set aside.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and lay out the bacon so the slices overlap slightly. Lay the rolled pork tenderloin at one end of the bacon strip arrangement, seam-side down. Using the plastic wrap, roll the bacon up and around the meat.
- Using butcher's twine, tie around the bacon at 2-inch intervals along the length of the roll, so that the bacon cannot come loose during cooking. Tuck the meat closed on both ends and secure with toothpicks.
- Place the pork, seam-side down, on the heated sheet pan and roast until the bacon is browned and the pork is cooked, about 45 minutes. Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place the bacon in a large, oven-safe skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and still flexible, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove any excess bacon grease from the skillet. Combine garlic powder, seasoning salt, basil, and oregano in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Wrap the pork tenderloin with the bacon strips securing with 1 or 2 toothpicks per strip of bacon. Slice the tenderloin between each bacon strip to create the medallions. Dip both sides of the medallions in seasoning mix. Melt butter and oil together in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each medallion for 4 minutes on each side.
- Place skillet into the preheated oven and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 17 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your kebabs will taste. Look for fresh, lean pork tenderloin and thick-cut bacon.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork tenderloin in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Wrap the pork tightly with bacon: When you wrap the pork tenderloin with bacon, make sure to do it tightly so that the bacon doesn't unravel during cooking.
- Cook the kebabs over medium heat: Cooking the kebabs over medium heat will help to prevent the bacon from burning and will allow the pork to cook through evenly.
- Don't overcook the pork: Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of meat, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked pork will be dry and tough.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped pork kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your kebabs are cooked perfectly and taste amazing. So fire up your grill or oven and give this recipe a try!
