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.

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!

This looks sooo good! I love a good spicy skillet meal.

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 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!

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.
Cathy
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.
Lynda
This sounds wonderful with the pork, Paula-glad that this recipe worked for you with some changes!
