Spanish Rice Stuffed Pork Loin

[Brisket Syndicate]

Saturday I smoked a fajita marinaded pork loin, stuffed with Spanish rice and Jack cheese. I cut the loin in half, then opened each half up and put them in the marinade for two hours. Took them out of the marinade and added a healthy coat of Fiesta Brand Fajita Seasoning, added the cheese and rice, and put them in the stick burner at 275 degrees. They turned out excellent! I posted a video on my YouTube channel. I'm not the best at making videos, but we all start somewhere.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5r..._as=subscriber

Sure looks tasty.

You are the man. That looks pretty darn good. I tried to wrap my ribs in bacon last night, but the wife physically threatened me to stop me. Something about me being old and watching my diet. I told her I wanted to watch my diet move from my plate to my mouth...

Oh, I can't stop myself:

Permission to eat bacon granted! This is where it's going in the medical community. The thing is, it's been anti dietary fat/cholesterol since the studies in the 50's.

EdF I have showed her all of that. I won't repeat her reaction. It's not the bacon or the ribs, it is the ribs wrapped in bacon. Of course, if I sneak a cook in and somehow get her to taste them, I am sure the objections would melt away.

klflowers - I have a similar situation with my squeeze.

Good looking plate. I'd eat that any day, even the carrots !! One suggestion is to splay out the pork loin as flat as possible and pound it to an even thickness (I use a rolling pin and some plastic wrap). Then you load, roll and tie. Either way the result is a delicious roll through the mouth and into the stomach. Again, really nice cook.

Thanks for the suggestion!!

Is this for helping cooking, or to get more of the filling well dispersed? I just did my first one today sans filling other than trimmed fat, didn't pound it and it was great but I'm gonna try one with a stuffing of some sort in the near future and want to do the best I can do

[Troutman]

That's correct you get a more even distribution of the filling, more even cooking, and perhaps even get a bit more filing because your piling it up a on a flat surface. Also ends up with a better looking presentation.

Very nice.
