    Instructions

    Skillet Pork in Red Chili Sauce

    Ingredients

    • 1 medium tomato
    • 1 medium yellow onion
    • ¼ bunch fresh cilantro
    • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper
    • 1 tablespoon canola oil
    • 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce
    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 8 small corn (or flour) tortillas

    Steps

      1. Chop tomato, onion, and cilantro coarsely. Cut pork into bite-size pieces and season with salt and pepper (wash hands).
      2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pan, then add pork; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove from pan.
      3. Place onions in same pan; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until tender. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in tomatoes, enchilada sauce, sugar, and pork.
      4. Cover and simmer 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce begins to thicken and pork is 145°F.
      5. Heat tortillas following package instructions if desired. Sprinkle cilantro over pork; serve in tortillas.

    Tomato-Avocado Bowls

    Ingredients

    • 2 medium Hass avocados
    • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
    • 2 medium tomatoes
    • 1 (11 oz) can corn with bell peppers
    • 3 tablespoons spicy ranch dressing
    • Crispy tortilla strips (optional)

    Steps

      1. Halve avocados; discard pits. Scoop out some of the avocado, leaving about ½ inch around edges to form bowls; chop scooped-out avocado and place in medium bowl. Chop cilantro and tomatoes; add to bowl.
      2. Drain corn; stir into tomato mixture until combined. Divide mixture evenly among avocado halves and drizzle with dressing. Top with tortilla strips, if using. Serve.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Complete your meal with sour cream and guacamole (for the pork) and Key lime pie for dessert.
    • The pork has a mild flavor. Add a little more brown sugar to sweeten it up or add some hot sauce to kick up the flavor.
