Texan Stir-Fry From The Nice Polish Girl

Submitted by HEP MEP

"I noticed this recipe on the back of a box of Texmati rice last week when I was making some for another purpose. I tried it tonight, and it's very tasty. I used 1 Tbl. of Texas style chili powder, added some coarsely chopped mild green chilies, used frozen sweet corn, but kept everything else the same. Also had some Queso Fresca cheese to top it with. Real different flavor! (for me anyway!)"

"This is the best thing you have made in a long time, Mom" my teenagers told me!!! The color is just beautiful and makes a beautiful presentation. I gave the kids the option to put this stir-fry into a soft shell taco. They added cheese, lettuce, sour cream. The only change I made was to marinate my pork prior to stir frying but I didn't really think about doing that until about 1 hr. before supper, so next time, I will marinate the pork 3-6 hours. I think the meat would be great grilled too, and then added to the black bean mixture. Found this recipe as a result of MEP's Cookathon. RIP MEP.
