2 tablespoons lime juice
1 chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 round challah buns or 4 sesame hamburger buns
8 boston lettuce leaves
2 small tomatoes, thinly sliced

Peel, pit and chop avocado. In bowl, mash avocado with fork; mix in cilantro and remaining lime juice. Set aside.

Weave pork slices onto 4 metal or soaked wooden skewers. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from skewers.
