Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 tbsp Lime juice
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Yellow onion, sliced
• 8 Corn tortillas
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 Avocado, sliced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

2. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Add the pork strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Allow the pork to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for extra flavor.

Step 3

3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

4. In the same skillet, add the marinated pork strips, cooking over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked and browned, stirring frequently.

Step 5

5. Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the pork, stirring to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

6. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they are pliable.

Step 7

7. Assemble the fajitas by adding a portion of the pork and vegetable mixture to each tortilla. Top with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium pork fajitas!
