Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 8 Flour tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, optional for garnish
- 0.5 cup Sour cream, optional
- 0.5 cup Salsa, optional
Instructions
Begin by slicing the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
While the pork is marinating, prepare the vegetables by slicing the red and green bell peppers and the yellow onion into thin strips.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated pork into the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble the fajitas by placing the pork and vegetable mixture onto each tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and salsa as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
