Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Salsa
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the sliced pork to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the marinated pork strips, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear the pork strips for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
Return the cooked onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the pork and toss everything together to combine and heat through.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
To assemble the fajitas, place a portion of the pork and veggie mixture onto each warm tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a spoonful of salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free pork fajitas.
