Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork tenderloin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 slices Whole grain bread
• 1 medium, ripe Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Brush the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then season evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the seasoned pork tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 4

While the pork is roasting, prepare the avocado spread: in a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.

Step 5

Slice the tomato into thin rounds.

Step 6

Toast the whole grain bread slices until lightly golden brown.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwich: spread avocado mixture on one slice of toasted bread. Add a layer of baby spinach, sliced tomato, and several slices of roasted pork. Spread Dijon mustard on another slice of bread and top the sandwich.

Step 8

Repeat the assembly process for the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.
