I like to buy thin slices of lean pork loin as they lend themselves to many different types of recipes. They are also relatively inexpensive.

In this recipe I cut them lengthwise into strips roughly 3/8" by 3/8" x 6", discarding any fat, then stir fry the strips briefly in a hot canola oiled non-stick skillet, seasoning them with salt.

Then the fun begins ...

I guarantee you will love these tacos ... they are simple and easy to make, but oh, so satisfying!

Let's make one now!

Ingredients: (per Taco)

1 slice of lean pork loin about 3" x 6" and about 3/8" to 1/2" thick

1 tbsp. of canola oil

1/4 tsp. of sea salt

1/2 of a large fresh garlic clove sliced very thinly

1 tsp. of chili powder (homemade is best)

6 thin strips of pepper jack cheese (1/4" x 1/4" x 4")

3 tbsp. of green Sofrito sauce

2 tsp. of medium hot taco sauce

1 leaf of fresh romaine lettuce chopped fine

1, 8" diameter soft flour tortilla shell

Directions:

Use a sharp knife and a wood cutting board to create long thin strips of pork from one thinly sliced pork loin piece (a lean piece about 3" x 6"). Cut away and discard any fat.

Stir fry the strips briefly with a spatula in a hot canola oiled non-stick skillet, seasoning them with salt. This will take about two minutes. Then flip the pieces over and stir fry for one minute.

Add the thinly sliced pieces of fresh garlic, mix them well with the pork for about a minute and get them hot and pungent, then add the teaspoon of homemade chili powder and mix everything well with a spatula, and continue to cook for about one minute.

At that point five 1/4" x 1/4" x 4" long thin strips of pepper jack cheese are placed on top of the seasoned meat strips and allowed to partially melt. Then all of the mixture is placed on a soft 8" diameter flour tortilla, spread out from the center, from one side of the flour tortilla to the opposite side.

Green Sofrito is added, about 3 tbsp. in a line on the meat and cheese, and a thin line of medium hot taco sauce is added along the length of the meat and cheese.

Finely chopped romaine lettuce is added evenly along both sides of the length.

The taco is wrapped up, placed on a paper plate, and put into the microwave oven for 30 seconds on high heat.

All done .... Now it is time to chow down and swoon!

A cold beer goes nicely with this yummy taco.

I bet you can't stop eating after only one of these beauties!

Enjoy!
