An intro to fusion foods. Teriyaki marinated pork tenderloin turned into a sweet and spicy taco. Could also be used as a filling for some oven-baked chimichangas, or burritos. This is just a basic recipe I cam eup with using ingredients I had on hand. I'm sure others can find other ways to use it or add/remove things to make it their own. Try it! Ingredients:
3 lbs pork tenderloin |
1 1/2 cups teriyaki marinade |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies |
1/2 onion, diced |
1/2 green bell pepper, cut in strips |
1 tablespoon ground cumin |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon molasses |
handful pickled jalapeno pepper |
1/2 cup salsa |
salt and pepper |
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans |
1/4 cup chicken broth |
1 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
taco shell |
1 cup mexican blend cheese |
diced tomato |
shredded lettuce |
sour cream |
salsa |
cilantro |
Directions:
1. Place tenderloin in ziplock bag with 1 cup of teriyaki sauce. Marinate for at least an hour. Overnight is preferred.
2. Preheat oven to 450°F Place pork in baking dish with onions and bell peppers. Season pork with 1Tbsp of cumin and chili powder. Pour can of tomatoes and chilis overtop. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven 20 minutes. Pour remaining teriyaki sauce on top of tenderloin, recover, and place in oven for another five minutes, or until pork is medium rare.
3. Place pork on a plate and cover with foil to let rest and cool enough to handle.
4. Pour veggies and juices from the pan into a medium sauce pot and begin reducing liquid. Add molasses, jalapenos, and salsa. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to allow sauce to thicken.
5. Slice pork into thin strips and stir into sauce pot. Continue to simmer to ensure meat is cooked-through.
6. In another sauce pot, mix beans, corriander, cumin, garlic powder, chicken stock and 1/2 cup of cheese. Heat through.
7. Heat taco shells according to package.
8. Assemble tacos according to taste using the beans, remaining cheese, pork and pepper mixture, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro.
