Smoky Mexican Stir Fry - 6g Carbs, 2g Fiber
From: www.porkbeinspired.com
The dual smoky flavors of bacon and chipotle chile (smoked jalapeno) liven up this quick and healthful stir-fry with pork tenderloin. The contrasts in temperature and texture—a hot savory stir-fry over cool crunchy lettuce—is a treat for the palate.
Serves: 4
1 small pork tenderloin, (about 12 oz)
4 slices bacon, diced
1 chipotle chile, (drained, if canned in adobo sauce; rehydrated in warm water if dried), chopped*
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 red bell pepper, OR green, cut into thin strips
1 small onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
3 cups romaine lettuce, OR iceberg lettuce, coarsely chopped
Slice pork tenderloin in half lengthwise, and then cut crosswise thinly.
Toss pork, bacon and chipotle pieces together in small bowl, set aside.
Combine oil, cumin, oregano and garlic and heat in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and onion, stir-fry 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove and reserve.
In same skillet, stir-fry the pork, bacon and chile for 2-3 minutes, until pork is just done and bacon crisp.
Return the vegetables to the skillet and heat through. Serve over lettuce.
* Wear rubber gloves when handling hot chiles
