Lime-Cilantro Pork Tacos



Serves 4

1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cup into thin strips
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1½ cups thinly sliced onion
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped plum tomato
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2½ tablespoons fresh lime juice
8 flour tortillas

1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and black pepper. Add oil to pan. Add pork, and sauté 4 minutes or until browned. Remove pork from pan; place in a bowl. Add onion and jalapeño 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; simmer 2 minutes.

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

3. Heat tortillas according to package directions. Spoon 1/2 cup pork mixture into each tortilla; roll up.

Served with a black bean & avocado salad.

Results: No one will be surprised to hear that Steven didn't eat this, BUT he did try it. Henry didn't like it. In their defense, this didn't seem like a very kid-friendly meal, but I really liked the lime taste of the pork. I'll make it again, but I won't force it on the kids.
