This is a two-fer as Rachel Ray would say. We had Spicy Grilled Pork Tenderloin for dinner one night and another night we had this wonderful, easy and very flavorful skillet dinner.
I adapted it from a yummy recipe on Lynda's Recipe Box. (Be sure and check out her version of the recipe if you don't have some meat already cooked to add to the skillet.) My husband started the South Beach diet again, so I also left out the rice and didn't add cheese to the top.
My husband ate his on a bed of lettuce, but the kids and I ate it with salad and a roll. Everyone loved this meal and I will definitely make it again. It doesn't get much easier than this.
Southwestern Skillet Dinner
1 Spicy Grilled Pork Tenderloin, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 T. oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 onion, diced
1 4 oz. can diced green chilies
1 cup of frozen or fresh corn
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 14 oz. can crushed tomatoes in puree
1 cup mild salsa
1 1/2 ts. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. sea salt
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the diced onion and minced garlic until tender. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 10 minutes.

I love dishes like this! I would totally want to scoop it up with some tortilla chips or something.
Such a tasty sounding week night meal! Bookmarking this one!
This sounds wonderful with the pork, Paula-glad that this recipe worked for you with some changes!
Your picture is mouthwatering!
Love these flavors all mixed together. And a great way to use leftover meat or chicken too. Adding salsa is a good idea. Yum-O as Rachel would say.
This dish looks delicious. I would eat it just the way you made it but I would have to get rid of the beans for the rest of my family.
This looks hearty and delicious! And loaded with goodness!
This looks wonderfully spicy, zesty and full of flavor! My kind of meal!
This sounds delicious Barbara. I love the flavors and colors too. One dish meals are my favorites.
Delish! I'd love to have it in lunch! Looks so colorful and tasteful!
Yummm, Barbara, this looks good. We are slowly coming round to southwestern style cooking and this looks like we would enjoy. Love the one dish meals!
THis looks so flavorful and healthy! Our family would love this!
I love these kinds of dishes! I do that a lot with chicken too which is also a great twofer meal. Do you like Rachel Ray? :)
This looks delicious. I'd have this for dinner anytime!
Barbara, I'm sorry I got yoyr name wrong in earlier post- my mind must have been wondering!
Oh, I love that kind of hearty and comforting food! Yes, with tortillas that would be awesome!
Cheers,
Rosa
This sounds great! I bet you could even turn it into a dip or an appetizer if you served smaller portions.
But then again - why would you ever want SMALLER portions of this!
Love the sound of this Barbara...quick, esay & oh-so-satisfying! YUM!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog to comment on the tart and the jam. I'm glad I stopped by as I have leftover pork tenderloin, salsa, corn, green beans, etc., and this looks like a great way to use it up!
This looks sooo good! I love a good spicy skillet meal.
Looks yummy to me. I hate living with a picky eater. Grumpy wouldn't eat it because of the Mexican flavor. He's such a spoil sport!
Hey Barbara,
Thx for the inspiration! We had some leftover pork loin and steamed veggies, which I threw in a made a stew. I threw in a bottle of Dos Equis and used chicken broth and ripe tomatoes since I didn't have crushed tomatoes. It was delicious! When I post, I'll link people to this blog entry.
I love one pot and/or skillet dishes, and I happen to have leftover pork from baby backs on the 4th! Thanks for posting this - as it looks delicious.
Healthy and tasty dish.looks so delicious.
This looks great! I love that you got two meals out of your ingredients... thanks also for the 'healthier' options!
Now, this is my idea of a tasty supper. Yum yum yum yum yum!
Looks delicious, I bet it would be great with tortillas too!
Hey Barb, saw on Aggie's Kitchen that you asked what you could use to sub for fish sauce. You can use soy sauce.
Beautiful. I love the color combinations! Not overdone at all! Your panna cotta looks incredible.
That's comfort food!Delicious!
