• Add Greek yogurt, chipotle in adobo, remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice, remaining garlic clove, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt to a small bowl. Stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• If the pork hasn't marinated for at least 15 minutes, let it marinate until you reach 15 minutes. You can also marinate the pork tenderloin up to three days in advance in the refrigerator.
• Drain the marinade from the pork and discard. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. This will help to sear the pork versus steam it.

Make sure the pork is evenly spread out on the pan. Don't move it so it can sear properly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip and sear on the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Pork tenderloin cooks very quickly. Remove from the pan and repeat with remaining half of the pork.

Most important part is that the internal temp reaches 145℉.
