Stir together salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder and cinnamon, then coat pork with spice rub.
Heat oil in an ovenproof 12-in heavy skillet over moderate heat, brown pork, turning about 4 minutes total. Leave pork in skillet.

Cut peel, including white pith, from oranges, then cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Toss spinach, cabbage, bell pepper and raisins in a large bowl with about 1/4 cup vinaigrette. Halve, pit and peel avocados, then cut diagonally into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Assemble:
Cut pork at a 45 degree angle into 1/2-inch thick slices. Line a large platter with dressed salad and arrange sliced pork, oranges and avocados in a row on top. Drizzle some vinaigrette over avocados and oranges. Pour any juices from skillet over pork. |
