Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pork tenderloin (1 lb.)
1/3 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing
1 Tbsp. guajillo chile pepper powder
1 Tbsp. annatto paste
2 cups masarepa
1/4 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
2-1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple chunks in juice, drained, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup green salsa
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cut meat lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Mix next 3 ingredients in shallow baking dish until blended. Add meat; turn to evenly coat each piece. Refrigerate 30 min., turning after 15 min.
  • Meanwhile, add masarepa and cheese to water in medium bowl; knead until mixture is well blended and forms smooth ball. Shape into 8 (3-1/2-inch) patties. Heat large heavy skillet or flat griddle on medium heat. Add patties, in batches; cook 15 min. or until crisp and lightly browned on both sides, turning every 5 min.
  • Heat heavy medium skillet on medium-high heat. Cook half the meat 2 to 3 min. or until done, stirring frequently. Repeat with remaining meat. Return all meat to skillet; stir in pineapple. Cook and stir 3 min. or until heated through.
  • Cut arepas in half, being careful to not cut all the way through each arepa. Fill with meat and remaining ingredients.
