1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Place the pork tenderloins on a cutting board and brush with mustard.
3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, chili powder and pepper. Sprinkle over the tenderloins. Wrap tightly with bacon.
4. Preheat a large oven-proof skillet (I used cast-iron) over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pan-sear the tenderloins for 4 minutes per side, then transfer to the oven for 15 minutes longer.
5. Let the tenderloins rest for 10 minutes, then slice.
