Directions:

  1. Remove stems and seeds from chiles. Combine chiles and water in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Drain well, reserving 2 tablespoons of soaking liquid. Combine the chiles, reserved soaking liquid, lime juice, salt, and garlic in a blender, and process until smooth.
  2. Trim fat from pork; place pork in a shallow dish. Pour chile mixture over pork; cover and chill 1-1/2 hours.
  3. Drain pork, reserving the marinade. Place pork on a rack coated with cooking spray, and place rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush the reserved marinade over pork, and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees. Set pork aside, and keep warm.
