1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
2 mangos, peeled, seeded and cut into matchlike sticks
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
⅓ cup golden raisins
2 pork tenderloins (2 lb.), butterflied
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 sleeve RITZ Crackers (37 crackers), finely crushed (about 1-1/2 cups)
1 pkg. (6 oz.) stuffing mix for chicken

Directions

Heat oven to 350ºF.

Cook and stir bacon in large skillet on medium-high heat 4 to 5 min. or until crisp. Use slotted spoon to remove bacon from skillet; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. drippings; reserve for later use. Add onions to skillet; cook 3 min., stirring occasionally. Add garlic; cook and stir 2 min. Remove from heat; stir in bacon, mangos, cilantro and raisins.

Place meat, cut-sides up, on cutting board; spoon filling down centers. Roll up meat, starting at long side of each; secure with wooden toothpicks. Brush with mayo; roll in cracker crumbs. Heat 1-1/2 tsp. of the reserved bacon drippings in same skillet on medium heat. Add 1 tenderloin; cook 4 min. or until evenly browned, turning occasionally. Place on rack of broiler pan. Repeat with remaining drippings and tenderloin.

Bake meat 35 min. or until done (160ºF). Meanwhile, prepare stuffing as directed on package the last few minutes of the meat baking time.

Remove and discard toothpicks from meat. Serve meat with stuffing.

Recipe Tips

Cooking Know-HowAsk the butcher to butterfly the pork tenderloin for you. Or, cut the tenderloin lengthwise in half, leaving about 1/2 inch intact. Cover with plastic wrap or place in a resealable plastic bag. Using a meat mallet or can, pound meat to 1/2-inch thickness.
SubstituteSubstitute 3 cups sliced drained canned or jarred mangos for the cut-up fresh mangos.
