For an already-cooked tenderloin that isn't exciting about all you can do is chop it and juice it up with a sauce.
Contrary to belief, you can't pull a tenderloin or loin; they have virtually no connective tissue or fat and when overcooked become virtually inedible. Don't take them past 145F. Pulled pork is made when you "pull" the meat of a pork butt slow-cooked to 195F or so.
So..pork tenderloin...butterfly it and stuff it with a mixture of garlic, shallots, cheese, chiles and anything else you can find. Or make an apple or mango chutney to have with it. Don't cook it past 145F or it'll be inedibly dry and tough.

Here's what I do: Saute some onions and green peppers together in some oil, then add the pork thinly sliced. Throw in some BBQ sauce and heat thoroughly, then serve on toasted hamburger buns.

Pork chow mein is good too. There are lots of recipes on the internet, but all I do is cook the noodles, let them drain well, sautee them in a little oil for 5 minutes or so to dry them out, add some vegetables like onion, mushrooms, bean sprouts, carrots (whatever you have on hand), add some soy sauce and the pork, cook & toss for a while longer and you have yourself a meal.
We basically make our fried rice the same way, starting with cooled white rice from our rice cooker. First we heat up a pan with a bit of oil, softly cook a couple of scrambled eggs, remove the eggs from the pan, add our vegetables (frozen peas & carrots) to the pan, cook them in a bit of oil until they're done, add the cooked meat and the rice (you have to rub it between your hands to get it to separate) and toss that with some soy sauce, and then put the egg back in and stir again to break them up into smaller pieces.
We also do the pulled BBQ pork, it freezes well. It would probably work well for chile verde too, depending on what it was marinated in.

Put it on the smoker and bring it up to temp and put some smoke on it. Add BBQ sauce and your eating good. You could also use some for some Brunswick Stew!

Take the uncooked pork and slice it into medalions about 1/2 thick and layer into cast iron pot between whole slices of onion sliced 1/2 thick, salt and pepper to taste and cook until the potatoes are done..add a can of celery soup and let it rest about 10 minutes, then serve...this also works well with pork chops....left overs are wonderful the next day, if any left over....Jim

I will cube up small pieces of pork tenderloin and make egg fuu yung. Not sure on the spelling, sorry. In a small pan sautee chopped onion, celery, mushrooms and add cubed pork. In a seperate bowl beat eggs (for 2 people I would say 5 eggs should be plenty) add in 1 can drained bean sprouts, 1 can sliced water chestnuts and the sauteed veggies and meat. Heat sprayed skillet so it gets pretty hot. Ladle spoonfuls of egg mixture into skillet like making pancakes. Let the egg mixture cook for a while on one side before attempting to flip it over. It took me a little practice to get this down but it isn't hard once you have made a few. I make up some long grain rice to go with it along with brown gravy. I buy the little packets of gravy that you add water to. My kids like to top it with the chow mein crunch noodles as well.
