Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Green bell pepper
• 1 Yellow bell pepper
• 1 Red onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 Avocado
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
• 12 Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the pork strips with lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the pork evenly. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.

Step 3

Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the red onion thinly as well. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked pork to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat everything through for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Slice the avocado and chop the fresh cilantro.

Step 9

To serve, place a generous portion of the pork and vegetable mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Top with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb pork fajitas!
