“If you are not a pork fan, substitute chicken breasts! Blazing hot peppers highlight this dish! Pork tenderloin is slow cooked with hot picante sauce and canned chipotle chili peppers. Start it early in the morning for fiery pork burritos for dinner. I like to serve this with flour tortillas, black beans, shredded cheese, corn, and sour cream. This recipe can also be adjusted for spice by using different peppers or omitting the peppers completely.” - by DarthsAuntie

Ingredients

4 pounds pork tenderloin, cubed
1 (16 ounce) jar hot picante sauce
1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chiles
1 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

"This was quite tasty - With some adjustments - I think very few could really enjoy it as written. I used 16oz of Medium salsa (that brand that's NOT made in New York City), which is pretty hot in its ..." See moreown right, only 3 of the chipotle peppers in adobo, the can of chilis & the lime. Once cooked, all we could really taste was HOT. I drained most of the juice (as that's where most of the heat was), then added a little mild salsa, adobo seasoning and a dash of worcestershire and let it go for another hour or so. The result was quite tasty, I have to admit, and I think we'd do it again, maybe use just the adobo sauce & pull out the peppers?"
