This is so simple and so good—the glaze is part of the cooking process, but you also use reduced glaze at the end, with the added crunch of the corn chips—don’t skip that step, as it adds a nice crunchy, salty touch to the slightly sweet/sour glaze. The pork loin stays juicy and tender in this recipe. This will be a favorite.
