Description

Savor the bright, zesty flavors of these Fantastic Pork Fajitas, where lean boneless pork is tenderized and infused with a vibrant marinade of fresh orange juice, vinegar, and aromatic spices. The combination of minced garlic, crumbled oregano, and warm cumin creates a deeply savory profile that cooks up quickly in a hot skillet. As the pork sizzles alongside onions and peppers, it develops a beautiful char while remaining juicy and tender. This dish is an excellent choice for busy weeknights or casual gatherings, offering a healthy yet satisfying meal that the whole family will love. Serve with warm flour tortillas, crisp shredded lettuce, and your favorite salsa for a complete, restaurant-quality experience at home.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the lean boneless pork across the grain into thin 1/8-inch strips for tenderness.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, crumbled oregano, cumin, seasoned salt, orange juice, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of hot pepper sauce.
  3. Add the pork strips to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until very hot.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the skillet, then add sliced onions, seeded and sliced green peppers, and the marinated pork strips.
  6. Stir-fry the mixture, spreading it out in the pan, allowing the pork to brown and cook through.
  7. Continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is no longer pink and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  8. Serve the fajita mixture immediately on warm flour tortillas, topped with sliced green onion tops, shredded lettuce, and salsa.
