Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large pork tenderloin (about 1 1/4 pounds), trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
2 bell peppers (red and/or yellow), sliced
2 small red onions (11/2 thickly sliced, 1/2 thinly sliced)
6 radishes, thinly sliced
2 Persian cucumbers, chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped pickled jalapenos (mild or hot), plus 1 tablespoon brine
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Juice of 1/2 lime, plus wedges for serving
12 corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Put a rimmed baking sheet under the broiler; preheat 5 minutes. Toss the pork with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning in a large bowl. Transfer the pork to the hot baking sheet and broil 5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the bell peppers, thickly sliced onions, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning to the bowl; toss.
  • Turn the pork and scatter the vegetables around it. Broil, tossing the vegetables and turning the pork occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and charred around the edges and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. (Continue broiling the vegetables, if needed.)
  • Toss the thinly sliced onion, radishes, cucumbers, jalapenos and brine in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add the cilantro, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the lime juice; toss.
  • Slice the pork and toss with the peppers and onions. Serve in the tortillas with the cucumber salad and lime wedges.

Pork 'n' Pepper Tacos image

As a Texas native, I prefer spicy food. But since my husband and I both work nights (I'm a nurse), I also need quick dishes like this. I've taken it to parties at work, too, and most tasters enjoy it - with an icy cold soda in most cases! -Jacquie Baldwin, Raleigh, North Carolina

SKILLET PORK AND PEPPERS



Skillet Pork and Peppers image

This one-pan dish has flavors reminiscent of the Italian-American classic sausage-and-peppers, but is much lighter. We've swapped the typical sausage for lean and juicy pork tenderloin and added pickled pepperoncini for zip.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large pork tenderloin (about 11/2 pounds), trimmed
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thickly sliced
2 red and/or yellow bell peppers, sliced into wide strips
6 cloves garlic, smashed
16 fresh sage leaves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup sliced pickled pepperoncini, plus 2 teaspoons liquid from the jar
1/3 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Slice the pork on an angle into 1-inch-thick pieces; season with salt. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and bell peppers; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add the pork and sear over high heat until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the plate with the onion and peppers.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, sage and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste turns brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the pepperoncini slices and their liquid, then pour in the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add the broth and return to a simmer. Arrange the pork in a single layer in the skillet; add the onion and peppers and sprinkle with cheese. Transfer to the oven and broil until the pork is cooked through, 4 to 7 minutes.

Tips for the Best Pork n' Pepper Tacos

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for tacos because it's flavorful and juicy. It's also relatively inexpensive.
  • Cook the pork slowly: Low and slow cooking is the key to tender, fall-apart pork. You can cook the pork in a slow cooker, Instant Pot, or in the oven.
  • Add flavor to the pork: Season the pork with a variety of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add a bit of citrus juice or vinegar to brighten the flavor.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas make a big difference in the taste of tacos. You can find fresh tortillas at most grocery stores or Mexican restaurants.
  • Load up on toppings: Tacos are all about the toppings! Some popular toppings include shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
