Chipotle Crusted Pork

Another beautiful night here at the King's house......

This is my first food blog of many. My cousin and I love sharing recipes so we decided to share with a little more people.
 
Tonight we had Chipotle Crusted Pork Tenderloin with black beans, zucchini, and avocado salsa.

First I start with the beans, since they take the longest. Nothing too fancy just some black beans in the water to boil about 3 hours before dinner and let them do their thing. After enjoying the sun, with my son, and a little coloring on the side. We came in to finish dinner.I started by cutting a red onion, garlic, and chipotles, toss those in to some heated olive oil. Sliced the pork into 1/4 inch cuts. Once the aroma started, I knew it was time to toss in the pork. Added about an 8th cup chicken broth and let that cook. Mean while, I began with the zucchini, just a simple sauté, a little butter, red onions, and of course to zucchini. Tossed those in a pan to sauté. Allowing everything to slowly cook into its own juices, time for salsa. Chopped tomatoes, red onion,avocados, lastly some lemon. Mixed it all up well.
 

Side note - I made some mexi brown rice, but I never used brown rice before and it didn't come out.

After all was said and done, I enjoyed this amazing meal. As for the King, he had the avocados, and a hot dog LOL LOL

Happy Cooking ALL  ~Autumn
