Cooking Time20 min
Ingredients
- 1 box Dreamfields Rotini
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 cup reduced-sodium, fat free chicken broth
- 1 1/4 cup prepared salsa verde
- 1 can black beans (15 ounces), rinsed drained (optional)
- 6 lime wedges
- Avocado, chopped (optional)
- Light sour cream (optional)
- Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Dreamfields pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pan; cover and keep warm.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cumin, chili powder and 2 teaspoons of the oil. Add pork; stir to coat completely. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add pork. Cook about 5 to 7 minutes until browned and cooked through, turning occasionally. Reduce heat if pork is browning too quickly. Remove from skillet; set aside.
- Add onion and 2 tablespoons of broth to the skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat (stirring up any browned bits from pan) for about 3 minutes, until onions are crisp-tender. Stir in salsa, remaining broth, and beans, if using. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return pork to skillet and heat through. Portion pasta into individual serving dishes. Top with stew. Serve with lime wedges. Garnish with avocado, sour cream and cilantro if desired.
