Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 8 Flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 4 Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame seeds. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the pork strips to the marinade, ensuring all the pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated pork to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pork is browned and fully cooked. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
To assemble the fajitas, add a portion of the pork and vegetable mixture to the center of each tortilla.
Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
