Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into strips
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or shredded cheese

Instructions

Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the pork strips and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Pork: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated pork for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
Warm the Tortillas: While the pork is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over the grill until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place a portion of the cooked pork in each tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and crumbled queso fresco.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves on top and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
