Quick Pork Fajitas


I am so behind on posting!!! I made the pork tenderloin and these pork fajitas a few weeks ago and am just getting around to posting. I'm going to start by saying that while this was a great way to use up the leftover pork tenderloin, I still am somewhat partial to steak or chicken fajitas. My husband and I generally don't care to reheat meat, so I was trying to think of a clever way to utilize the leftover pork. I always tend to use Allrecipes.com as my "fallback" and came across this recipe. It was definitely "good" and if you happen to be a huge fan of pork, you'd probably really like these, but I think I definitely gravitate more toward steak or chicken...perhaps more out of habit?!?

Quick Pork Fajitas

1 - 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
3-4 tablespoons fajita seasoning
1 onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper OR red bell pepper, sliced
6 flour tortillas, warmed

Directions:

In shallow bowl, toss pork pieces with fajita seasoning. In large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, stir-fry pork pieces with onion and green pepper until vegetables are just tender (about 5 to 10 minutes). Wrap portions in flour tortillas with salsa.

  1. Looks good but I agree I always tend to do more steak or chicken instead.

  3. These sound great, Rachel! I'm a big fan of pork and whenever I buy a pork tenderloin, I always have enough for about two meals. This will be perfect for the next time I buy some.

  4. Make friends with pork. I love the idea of pork fajitas.

    I guess I'm not the only person who waits a ridiculously long time to blog a recipe.

  6. Leftover meat can sometimes not taste so hot! This looks great though. I too have a stock pile of recipes to post on those days I make something I've already posted, or we go out to eat.
