INGREDIENTS
6 oz Pork Tenderloin
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup shredded Green Cabbage
1/4 cup shredded Carrot
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
1/4 cup Black Beans
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and pat dry.
Mix cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove the pork and let it rest for 5 minutes before shredding or slicing.
While the pork is cooking, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, lime juice, and fresh cilantro in a bowl. Toss gently to mix.
Warm the black beans in a small saucepan over low heat, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Serve the crispy pork with a generous helping of fresh slaw on the side and a spoonful of black beans. Enjoy your zesty carnitas meal!
