Southwestern Skillet Dinner
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.

Beautiful. I love the color combinations! Not overdone at all! Your panna cotta looks incredible.
Hey Barb, saw on Aggie's Kitchen that you asked what you could use to sub for fish sauce. You can use soy sauce.
Looks delicious, I bet it would be great with tortillas too!
Now, this is my idea of a tasty supper. Yum yum yum yum yum!
This looks great! I love that you got two meals out of your ingredients… thanks also for the 'healthier' options!
Healthy and tasty dish.looks so delicious.
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.
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.
