Tostados with Pork & Chipotle Cream

Ingredients:
  • 1 (1-lb. ) pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1 tsp. minced chipotle en adabo
  • 1 tbsp. lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 cup fat-free canned refried beans, warmed
  • 4 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed
  • 2 cups sliced romaine lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
Makes 4 Servings
  1.  Cut pork tenderloin into 4 equal pieces. Slice each horizontally at the middle without cutting entirely through the meat  and open up each like a book. Combine chili powder, salt, cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle onto pork, coating all sides.
  2. Spray large skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, turning once, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand for 3 minutes; cut into strips.
  3. Combine sour cream, chipotle, lime juice, and sugar in a small bowl. Spread warmed refried beans on tostados. Top with lettuce, strips of pork, and tomato; drizzle chipotle cream sauce evenly  over top of each.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Tastier than Takeout Cookbook. These will be your new Mexican guilty pleasures instead of the other food you get at the other Mexican fast food joints. It's a very filling meal that's filled with protein and will quickly fill you up. You can use black beans in place of the refried beans but it may change the point value. You can use chicken, steak or even turkey in this tostada and it will still be good.
