Tequila-Lime Pork Roast image

Boneless pork loin marinated in tequila and covered with a flavorful rub. Adapted from dLife. The recipe calls for fresh lime juice, but I used bottled (not the sweetened type) since 2 cups of lime juice is about 32 limes and that is too expensive and time consuming for a marinade :) Use 1 fresh lime for the zest and add juice from that lime to the bottled juice. Prep time includes 24 hour marinating time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The pork was tender, but the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste.

This recipe was a disaster! The pork was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The pork was a little dry, but the sauce was amazing. I'll try brining the pork next time to see if that helps.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The pork is always moist and juicy, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.
