Mmmm, makes your mouth water just saying those  words!
My wife decided it was time to cook up some pinto  beans,  so I was smelling that all day as they cooked.  Then she asked me what I wanted  with them, besides the obvious - cornbread, so I started digging in the freezer  and came out with a brick hard pork tenderloin.
beans,  so I was smelling that all day as they cooked.  Then she asked me what I wanted  with them, besides the obvious - cornbread, so I started digging in the freezer  and came out with a brick hard pork tenderloin.
I let it lay around all day while the beans cooked, and  finally, just in the nick of time, it thawed enough for me to slice it into 1/2"  pieces.
I decided to put the slices in a bowl, dump in some minced  garlic, liberally sprinkled it with salt and pepper, and just touch of cayenne,  and then threw in some self-rising flour to hold all of the ingredients  together.
About 10 minutes before the timer went off, signaling the  cornbread was done, I dropped the coated slices into some hot olive oil.  I  fried them to a golden brown and the let them drain on paper towel.
We chopped up the cornbread and poured the beans and juice  over it, laid about 6 slices of tenderloin on the plated, and I just happened to  have a jar of pickled okra in the fridge.  Man, it was sure tasty!
You should try it...if you have some slaw...that would be  yummy too!
