Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lemongrass, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine the minced lemongrass, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, chili powder, and cumin. Add the sliced pork and mix well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Pork: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
Warm the Tortillas: While the pork is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place a portion of the cooked pork on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, and jalapeños if desired.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
