Happy Halloween! Pineapple Pork Tenderloin with Avacado Topping

My plan for our meals today was to make everything as healthy as possible because I knew we'd be eating a ton of candy for the next few days. I decided to do a really simply pork tenderloin with fresh pineapple served over rice with an avacado salsa. We all enjoyed it, it was the perfect pre-trick or treating dinner. The photos of the dinner really didn't turn out so instead I'm posting Woody and Buzz, they're much better to look at! Happy Halloween!




Ingredients
  • pork tenderloin, cut in bite size pieces
  • juice of half an orange
  • juice of half a lime
  • fresh pineapple, chopped (reserve any juices)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil
Avacado topping ingredients
  • 2 avacadoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • salt to taste
Combine orange juice, lime juice, salt and pepper in a sealable bag. Add pork, refrigerate 1-2 hours. Take out of fridge 15-30 minutes before cooking. Heat oil in skillet add pork, once golden add pineapple and any juices. Cook until done and heated through.
Topping - combine chopped avacado, tomato, onion and cilantro. Season with some salt and lime juice to taste.

Assembly: I served the pork and pineapple on top of brown rice and topped the pork with the avacado. It was delicious. We will be having this again and next time I will take better photos! Enjoy.
