Take pork loins, rub salt and pepper, mixed evenly, into both sides of each loin. Then do the same with the mesquite seasoning. The best way to do this is to shake some onto the same side for all the loins, rub it in, flip them all, and repeat.

Step 3:

Put some olive oil to lightly cover the bottom of a skillet, and shake some more mesquite in there too. Set to high heat. When it heats up, put the loins on, letting them cook halfway through before flipping. Each side, depending on thickness, should take 5-7 minutes, for about 10 minutes total cook time.

Step 4:

When loins have been flipped, slice up tomato and any other vegetables and put them on the skillet for the final 3-4 minutes. After finishing cooking, remove skillet from stove, and remove rice. Enjoy delicious meal.
