What’s the difference between pork loin and pork tenderloin?
Although similar, pork tenderloin and pork loin are different in a variety of ways. Pork loin (what I used in this recipe), is typically cheaper and has a higher fat content. Pork tenderloin (like in my Pork Carnitas) is a leaner cut of pork that is typically used in dishes to keep the fat down. I personally love both and you can use whichever you prefer.
