Lime Cilantro Pork Tacos

1 lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into thin strips

¼ tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. freshly grounded black pepper

2 tsp. olive oil (or veg oil)

1 ½ cups thinly sliced onions

½ cup green pepper, chopped

1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

½ cup fat free, less sodium chicken broth

½ cup chopped plum tomato

3 TBS. chopped cilantro

2 ½ TBS. fresh lime juice

8 (6 inch) flour tortillas

Heat in large skillet over medium-high heat.  Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper.  Add oil to pan.  Add pork, and sauté 4 minutes or until browned.  Remove pork from pan, place in bowl.  Add onion and jalapeno to pan, sauté 5 minutes or until tender.  Add broth; reduce heat, and simmer 1 minute, scraping pan to loosen browned bits.  Stir in tomato, and simmer 2 minutes.

Return pork and accumulated juices to pan.  Stir in cilantro and lime juice; cook 1 minute or until pork is done.

Heat tortillas according to package directions.  Spoon ½ cup pork mixture into each tortilla; roll up.

Browning the pork improves its color, and the browned bits enrich the sauce’s flavor, increase the amount of jalapeno pepper if you enjoy spicy foods.  Serve with lime wedges.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Quick Tip: To make the pork tenderloin easier to cut into thin strips, partially freeze it first.
