Ingredients
Directions
1 lb pork tenderloin (cut like pork chops)1/2 medium onion1 green bell pepper3 cups low sodium chicken broth3 cups instant brown rice1 cup reduced fat mexican-style shredded cheese3 garlic cloves (or garlic powder, to taste)chilli powder (to taste)Optional (not included in nutrition info):sour creamsalsa
Dice pepper and onion. Spray a large skillet with some cooking spray and add the pepper, onion, garlic, and chili powder to the pan. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until pepper and onion start to brown.
Cut pork into small bite-sized pieces, discarding the fat. Add the pork along with about half a cup of the chicken broth to the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes or until pork is cooked through.
Add remainder of the chicken broth and the rice to the skillet. Cook for about 5 - 10 minutes more or until most of the broth has been absorbed.
Top with the shredded cheese. Allow it to melt before serving.
I always serve this dish with some medium salsa and light sour cream. The amounts vary from person to person though, so I haven�t included them in the nutrition information.
