Mojo Pork Chili Recipe
A colorful, healthy and flavorful one-pan meal featuring tender pork and a refreshing mojo sauce. This gluten-free pork chili recipe is done in half an hour from start to finish!

Pork doesn’t always seem as versatile to cook with as chicken, so I try to come up with the right recipes that bring out this meat’s flavors best. For that reason, I love this mojo pork chili recipe I created. I think the ingredients really complement the pork and give you a beautiful, tasty meal without too much work.
In this recipe, you get the refreshing flavor of a mojo sauce, which I shared on the blog earlier. By using ground pork, you get tender pieces of meat that are quick to cook. This is a nice twist on a regular chili for when you’re feeling like something different.

I find this recipe easy and quick to make with a fast prep time and only 20 minutes of cook time, so it’s perfect for a busy weeknight. You only need a few simple ingredients, and you make it in one pan. With the combination of pork, rice, potatoes, beans and other ingredients, you get a complete meal that’s satisfying without being too heavy. And the mojo sauce keeps the flavor light. This recipe makes four servings perfect for a family, although you could easily increase it and save some servings in the freezer to pull out whenever you need a quick, healthy meal.

I love to garnish my pork chili recipe with cilantro and chopped avocado to add the green and yellow coloring for a beautiful presentation, and of course for extra flavor and texture.
I hope you and your family enjoy a bowl of this chili whenever you want some comfort food or you’re in the mood for an exciting and refreshing flavor combination. You get the added benefit of this being a healthy meal! It’s even gluten free.
As always, leave a comment to let me know what you think if you get a chance to make this recipe! Cheers!
