Lucy Greer with Greer’s Markets makes a great Mexican-style dish featuring pork tenderloin, veggies, and plenty of spices.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1 pork tenderloin (1-1.25 lbs.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 1/2 large white onion, thinly sliced
- 1-pint grape tomatoes, quartered
- 1 lime, juiced, divided
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 8 oz. sour cream
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 6 tostado shells
- 1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
STEPS:
In a small bowl combine 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and cumin. Set aside.
Cut the pork tenderloin into very thin medallions. Slice each piece in half lengthwise to create strips of pork. Place pork in a bowl. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the pork and toss until coated. Pour seasoning blend on the pork and toss until coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add pork and cook for 5 minutes without stirring. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl and cover with aluminum foil. Set aside.
Return the same skillet to medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add peppers and onions. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Stir tomatoes, ¼ teaspoon salt, juice of ½ lime, garlic and cilantro together in a bowl. Set aside.
Stir sour cream, ¼ teaspoon salt, juice of ½ lime and hot sauce together in a bowl. Set aside.
To build: spread some of the sour cream mixture on a tostado shell. Top with pork, peppers and onions, tomatoes and shredded cheese.
