This dish is a great example of the diabetes plate method at work - lean protein (pork tenderloin), starchy beans and low-carb zucchini. If you want to add some dairy, garnish the pork tenderloin with plain, nonfat Greek yogurt.

It takes a lot of work in the kitchen, but worth the meal. I will make it again.
I would recommend making a homemade mole rather than store bought as the store bought contains a lot of preservatives and unhealthy ingredients. However, homemade mole is a lot of work as well and should be prepared ahead of time. Even using the store bought, the flavor of the mole with the added ingredients was very delicious. The bean mixture added a depth while the zucchini was comparable to a salsa.
If you are like me, I do not care for rare tenderloin. As such, follow the instructions and then place a piece of foil on the top, increase the temperature to 425 degrees and cook an additional 15 minutes to insure inside meat temp is at 165 degrees. It was not even close using the recipe.
If you are not watching calories or can spare the additional fat exchanges, add a little cheddar cheese or sour cream (greek yogurt) on top to crown it off.
