One quick way is to look in the Adobe Reader folder to find the .OTF 
Minion Pro, install it on your system and you can load it in fontspec as 
with any other system font:

\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text, Ligatures=Common, 
Numbers=Monospaced]{Minion Pro}

if you need numbers different (proportional) add another fontfamily
\newfontfamily\MinionProportional[Mapping=tex-text, Ligatures=Common, 
Numbers=Proportional]{Minion Pro}


HTH.
