Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 medium bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 8 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced avocado
- 1 fresh lime wedges
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork strips and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
While the pork is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and sauté the bell peppers and onion until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the marinated pork strips. Cook until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Return the sautéed bell peppers and onions to the skillet with the pork. Stir to combine and heat through for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
To serve, layer the pork and pepper mixture into crisp lettuce leaves. Top with sliced avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Enjoy your Whole30 Pork Fajitas as a healthy, refreshing meal!
