Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pork tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 3 Bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 1 Large onion
- 8 Flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
Add the pork strips to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 1 hour for best flavor).
While the pork marinates, thinly slice the bell peppers and onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the sliced peppers and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the marinated pork and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until fully cooked and browned. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
Return the cooked peppers and onions to the skillet with the pork. Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
Serve the pork and vegetable mixture on the warm tortillas. Top with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro if desired.
Enjoy your delicious, homemade Yummy Pork Fajitas!
