Cuban Mojo Pork Loin

    I was looking for a new delicious pork loin recipe and decided to give this traditional Cuban dish a try. The citrus flavor combined with some heat and warmth is amazing. Mojo is traditional for the Cuban culture and much different from other versions of Mojo. This was so easy and easy to make in the crock pot that I highly recommend this for anyone wanting a good, tender, juicy pork loin dinner for their family. Cuban Mojo Pork Loin.
