Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork tenderloin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 8-10 flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin.
  3. Place the seasoned pork tenderloin on the preheated grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. While the pork is resting, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and sauté until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Thinly slice the rested pork tenderloin.
  6. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
  7. To assemble the fajitas, place some sliced pork tenderloin and sautéed vegetables on a warm tortilla. Add any desired toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
  8. Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the edges as you go. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  9. Serve the barbecue pork fajitas hot and enjoy!
