Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 can of chopped pineapple - you’ll use ¼ cup of the juice + 1 cup of the pineapple
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups rainbow broccoli slaw this was a prepacked slaw with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots & red cabbage – but you could easily make your own broccoli slaw using the stalks & cabbage if desired
  • 1 chipotle pepper minced, with 1 tsp adobo (optional – can eliminate if you want to reduce the spice)
  • 1.5 cup cherry tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce

Instructions

  • Mix olive oil, ¼ cup of pineapple juice, salt & pepper in a large plastic bag or bowl. Marinate pork in this mixture for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Prepare grill for cooking. Place pork on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until meat reaches 145 degrees. Be sure to flip several times in that cooking time.
  • Meanwhile, cook 1 cup of quinoa according to package directions with water.
  • When quinoa is just about done, add broccoli slaw and chipotle/adobo. Cook in the pot for two minutes, just enough time to soften the vegetables a bit.
  • In a large bowl, combine the quinoa mixture along with pineapple, cherry tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and enchilada sauce. Top the dish with the grilled pork. Enjoy!
