- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion.
Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork strips, sliced vegetables, and minced garlic.
Drizzle olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Toss to combine until the pork and vegetables are well coated with the seasoning.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the pork and vegetable mixture to the skillet.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for approximately 8-10 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked and vegetables are tender-crisp.
Stir in the lime juice and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry pan over low heat or wrap in foil and heat in the oven for a few minutes.
Serving suggestion: Place a portion of the pork and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla and roll or fold to enclose the filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat pork fajitas!
