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.
