Salsa Verde Con Puerco/Pork Tenderloin in Green Sauce

"I love Mexican food. So here is my rendition of a classic. Salsa Verde con Puerco: a lively mixture of pork tenderloin, tomatillo, chilies and peppers served in a tortilla wrap. Presented along with refried beans and yellow rice it's about as Mexican as it gets. I have to caution, don't touch your face when prepping the chilies and peppers. WASH YOUR HANDS! Oh yeah, don't forget the tequilla!"

I just like to cook. I have learned a lot here of what to do and further what not to do. That's about it! I will never reveal my rib, chili, wing, salsa or mole sauces and rubs. ;-) OK let's party!!!
