1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
4 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin

Instructions

Heat oven to 375° F. In a small bowl, combine the chipotle pepper, paprika, cumin, coriander, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Place the pork on a rimmed baking sheet and coat with the spice mixture. Roast until the internal temperature of the pork registers 145° F, 40 to 50 minutes. Let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve the pork with the bean salad and lime wedges.
