Pork tenderloin marinates in a bright blend of orange, lime, and garlic before roasting alongside bell peppers and onions on a single pan. The mojo marinade caramelizes slightly in the oven, giving the pork and vegetables a tangy, garlicky finish reminiscent of classic Cuban flavors. It's a low-fuss dinner with minimal cleanup, suited for busy weeknights.
