Instructions
- Heat tortillas according to package directions.
- Slice onion and peppers, set aside.
- Cut pork into thin strips and place in a bowl. Toss pork with seasoning, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Preheat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add the pork in small batches and cook just until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Set cooked pork aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan and cook onions 1-2 minutes, stir in peppers and cook 2 minutes more.
- Add pork and cook until heated through, do not overcook the pork.
Notes
- My favorite choice for lean pork is pork tenderloin. You can also make fajitas with center cut chops or other lean pieces of boneless pork.
- I cut the pork into medallions (across the grain) and then cut the medallions into strips.
- Do not overcook the pork. Pork can be cooked to medium (145°F) and should be a little bit pink inside.
