  • 4 Servings
  • Prep 15 min
  • Cook 20 min

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 pork tenderloins (1 1/2 pounds total), halved crosswise
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pineapple—peeled, cored and quartered
  • 1 avocado, cut into wedges
  • 1 jalapeño chile, thinly sliced

Smart move
Squeeze lemon juice over the avocado to keep it from browning.

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, salt and pepper. Sprinkle all over the pork. In a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork to the pan and cook, turning, until browned and firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm.

  2. Using the same skillet, add the pineapple and cook over medium heat, turning, until golden, about 8 minutes.

  3. Slice the pork. Divide the pineapple, pork and avocado among 4 plates. Top with the jalapeño.
