Chili-Rubbed Roast Pork Tenderloins with Crunchy, Chunky Black Bean and Jicama Salad

  1. Preheat the oven to 450F.
  2. Place the tenderloins on a nonstick baking sheet with a rim.
  3. Combine the chili powder and cumin in a small bowl.
  4. Rub the seasoning mixture into the tenderloins, coating them completely.
  5. Season with some salt and pepper and then drizzle the tenderloins with EVOO, just enough to coat.
  6. Roast for 25 minutes.
  7. Allow the meat to rest.
  8. While the pork is roasting, prepare the black bean and jicama salad.
  9. In a small bowl combine the lime juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.
  10. Whisk in about 4 tablespoons EVOO.
  11. With a paring knife, peel the light brown skin from the jicama.
  12. Slice it into 1/4-inch-thick disks, stack the disks up, then cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips and reserve.
  13. Cut all around the circumference of the ripe avocado, lengthwise and down to the pit.
  14. Twist and separate the halved fruit.
  15. Remove the pit with a spoon, then scoop the flesh out in one piece from both halves.
  16. Chop the avocado into bite-size pieces.
  17. In a salad bowl combine the jicama, avocado chunks, red onion, cucumber, black beans, cilantro, and parsley.
  18. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
  19. Slice the pork on an angle into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  20. Serve the sliced pork with the salad piled on top.
  21. Jicama tastes both sweet and nutty, and the thing I love about it is that it is really crispy.
  22. I love it in all kind of salads.
