Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops cut into bite size pieces
- 4 bell peppers sliced
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1/2 tsp. salt for pork
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper for pork
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- Juice of one lemon 1/4 cup
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch salt for peppers
- Pinch black pepper for peppers
- Sour Cream for serving
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Preparing the peppers:
- Clean and cut the bell peppers into slices. On a large baking sheet place the pepper slices and season with salt and pepper.
- Next, drizzle on the extra virgin olive oil and mix the peppers to ensure they are coated.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until the pepper skins begin to brown.
Preparing pork:
- While the peppers are cooking, in a large skillet bring the canola oil to high heat.
- Next, add the pork and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté the pork on all sides until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes total) and drain the excess oil.
- Finally, after the oil is drained, add the lemon juice, and continuing on high heat, sauté the pork for 2 more minutes.
Bringing it all together:
- Place the pork pieces in the center of a flour tortilla and top with a few roasted peppers. Add a spoonful of sour cream if desired.
