Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 2 large Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 large Onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)
- 8 large Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips and set aside.
Core and slice the bell peppers into thin strips, and slice the onion into thin rings.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the sliced pork to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pork is cooked through.
Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
While the veggies are cooking, slice the avocado and chop the cilantro if using.
To assemble the fajitas, take a lettuce leaf as the base, add a few slices of cooked pork, and top with sautéed peppers and onion. Add avocado slices and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Serve immediately, allowing each person to build their own fajitas with additional lime juice if desired.
