This is the cook-once half of the deal. Grill twelve kabobs, eat eight over a crunchy salad tonight, and the other four become tomorrow's Thai peanut fried rice with almost no work.

4 servings or type

12 Wooden skewers (8-inch)

2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons Olive oil

2 teaspoons Lime zest

1 ½ teaspoons Chili powder

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

½ teaspoon Ground black pepper

2 pounds Pork tenderloins, cut in 1/2-inch pieces

2 Bell peppers, cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces

1 Red onion, cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces

1 bag Southwest-style chopped salad kit

1 Avocado, sliced

3 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps

Soak the skewers in water for 20 minutes. Heat the grill for direct cooking over medium-high.
Whisk the lime juice, oil, zest, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the pork in it, then thread pork, peppers, and onion alternately onto the skewers.
Grill covered for 13 minutes, turning once, until the pork hits 145°F.
Toss the salad kit with avocado and cilantro. Serve 8 kabobs over the salad; wrap the remaining 4, refrigerate up to 2 days, and use them in the Thai peanut fried rice.

Tip: Cut the pork a little bigger than the vegetables. Tenderloin cooks fast, and chunky pieces stay juicy while the peppers char.
