This recipe is the pork version of the classic Mexican skirt steak fajitas dish. Instead of skirt steak, pork tenderloin is used. Serve this dish with guacamole, sour cream, mexican salsa and grated cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp cumin (ground)
  • 1/2 tsp oregano (dried)
  • 1 tsp paprica (ground)
  • 1 garlic clove, mashed
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 medium white onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 8 flour tortillas

Method

Place the pork tenderloin slices in a mixing bowl. Add the vegetable oil, cumin, oregano, paprica, black pepper and mashed garlic and toss well until all the meat has been coated with the oil and spices. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours to marinate.

In a large, non-stick skillet or frying pan, over medium to high heat, add the marinated pork and stir fry for about 1 minute, stirring continuously. Add the onion and pepper slices and continue frying until the vegetables are just tender, but still crisp. Do not overcook the vegetables.

Heat the tortillas in the microwave or oven, according to instructions on the packaging, fill with the pork mixture, top with salsa, guacamole, sour cream and / or cheese, wrap and enjoy.

Cook's notes

To make slicing of the pork tenderloin easier, place the meat in the freezer for about 25 minutes.
