Ingredients
12 oz. pork loin, cut into 4 portions1 link chorizo, removed from the skin and crumbled2 T. unsalted butter4 large green onions, chopped1/2 c. red bell pepper, chopped1 c. cilantro, chopped1/2 c. heavy cream1/2 c. water6 oz. Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded (or more if you can afford the carbs)
Preheat oven to 350º. Pound the 4 pieces of pork with a meat tenderizer. Melt butter in large skillet over high heat. Brown pork on both sides until nearly done. Remove. Add crumbled chorizo and brown, crumbling as small as you can as it cooks. Add the green onions, bell pepper and saute until they are tender. Lower heat to medium low and add cream, water and cilantro. Simmer a couple minutes to reduce a bit. Sprinkle the cheese over the sauce and lay pork on top. Pop into preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until bubbly and the meat appear to be done. Serve 1/4 of the sauce over each portion of meat. This pairs nicely with mashed cauliflower or a nice guacamole salad alongside.
