5.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and quickly sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until browned.
6.Add chopped shallot, onion, chili powder, salt, and pepper, then stir in the red wine and mexican salsa and bring it to a boil.
7.Remove from heat and pour the sauce over the stuffed pork tenderloins.
8.Bake for about 40-50 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked.
