I've had this fajita recipe for three years and my husband and I just love it. Be careful with the chipotle peppers as they can be very hot. I changed it up a little to fit our taste. You may want to adjust the amount to your preference. -Melissa Thomeczek, Hannibal, Missouri

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is a great choice for fajitas because it's a tough cut that becomes tender when cooked slowly. You can also use pork loin or tenderloin, but these cuts will cook more quickly and may become dry if overcooked.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cumin is a good place to start.
  • Cook the pork slowly: Pork shoulder should be cooked slowly over low heat in order to become tender. You can cook it in a slow cooker, Instant Pot, or in the oven. The pork is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Slice the pork thinly: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain. This will help to keep the pork tender and juicy.
  • Serve the pork fajitas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for pork fajitas include grilled onions and peppers, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and cheese. You can also serve them with rice, beans, or tortillas.

Conclusion:

Pork fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pork fajitas are tender, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
