TexMex Pork

I was starting to get a little sick of chicken and beef all the time.  I was looking for some new pork recipes and I stumbled upon this stunner!  This is one of my new favorites!  It is so quick and easy, and healthy to boot!




TexMex Pork
* adapted from Cooking Light

Ingredients:
1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 3/4" cubes
1 1/2 cups refrigerated fresh salsa
2 cups hot, cooked long grain rice
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup cubed avocado
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions: 
1.  Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Spray pan with cooking spray, add pork to pan, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.  Saute until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. 
2.  Add salsa and water to pan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
3.  Serve pork mixture over rice, top with sour cream and avocado.

Notes:
-Don't skimp on the salsa!  This is were your flavor is coming from, so you want to get good quality fresh salsa.
