Grilled Pork Fajitas
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into strips
1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long
1 small onion, sliced
8 whole-wheat flour tortillas, about 8 inches in
diameter, warmed in the microwave
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 medium tomatoes, diced
4 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup salsa
DIRECTIONS
- Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a
gas grill or broiler to medium-high or 400 F.
- In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder,
oregano, paprika, coriander and garlic powder.
Dredge the pork pieces in the seasonings, coating
completely.
- Place the pork strips and onions in a cast-iron
pan or grill basket. Grill or broil at medium-high
heat, turning several times, until browned on all
sides, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, spread an equal amount of pork strips
and onions on each tortilla. Top each with 1
tablespoon cheese, about 2 tablespoons
tomatoes, 1/2 cup shredded lettuce and 2
tablespoons salsa. Fold in both sides of each
tortilla up over the filling, then roll to close. Serve
immediately. **
