- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce (or 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste Mixed With 2 Tablespoons Water)

Directions
- Process the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- Put the pork in a 1-gallon sealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Close the bag and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Remove pork from the marinade, pat the pork dry on paper towels to remove excess marinade. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to lose its chill.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, green and red peppers, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the paprika and cumin and cook 1 minute more, until fragrant. Stir in the beans, broth, cilantro, platano pieces, tomato sauce, and salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by about half, 10 to 15 minutes. Add cooked rice and mix it in, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and partially cover to keep warm.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat and add the onion rings.Cook, stirring occasionally, just until they beginning to turn translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and heat. Add half of the pork in a single layer. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and pork shows the barest sign of pink when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife or until a digital meat thermometer reads between 145 degrees F. and 160 degrees F., about 6 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining pork and oil. Return pork and any juices to the skillet. Add the onions and toss well. Remove from the heat.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the platanos rounds and cook until the undersides are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip them over and brown reverse sides, about 2 minutes more.
- Divide the pork, onions, rice, and platanos among six dinner plates. Add the lime wedges and serve.
