Ingredients
Scale
Pork:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch cilantro, minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
- 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, with its juices

Sauce:
- 4 chiles anchos, deseeded and destemmed
- 4 roma tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 yellow onion
Garnish:
- 1 avocado, diced
- Cilantro
Instructions
- Make the sauce: Add water in a large pot and bring it to a boil. Add salt and add the chiles anchos, roma tomatoes, garlic cloves, and onion. This should boil for 15 minutes. When it is done, add everything in a blender and about 2 cups of the same water. Reserve for later.
- Meanwhile in a very large pan on medium high heat, brown the pork for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. We want to just sear it. Remove and set on a plate.
- Toss in the chorizo, minced garlic and bacon, stirring frequently until browned, about 8 minutes. Pour in the sauce and bring to a simmer. Return the pork and add the beans and it’s juices into the sauce. Add the pork, jalapeño, beans, cilantro, salt and pepper and cook in the sauce for about 30-40 minutes, until liquid has reduced. (Note: you may need to add some water or broth if you feel the liquid is too thick).
- Garnish with cubed avocado and cilantro.
Notes
You may need to add some water or broth if you feel the liquid is too thick.
