Lime-Cilantro Pork Tacos

Ingredients
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into thin strips
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onion
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped plum tomato
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
Preparation
  • Heat a large nonstick 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.
  • 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 1/2 cup pork mixture into each tortilla; roll up.
Cook's Comments:
- I didn't have a jalapeno pepper but I did have a little can of chili peppers and that worked just fine
- as a side I did refried black beans and also mexican rice, probably could have done without the rice
