Tips:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • To make sure the pork is cooked evenly, cut the meat into strips of uniform thickness.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick.
  • Cook the pork over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the meat and prevent it from drying out.
  • Baste the pork with the marinade while it is cooking. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the pork fajitas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
