Grilled pork fajitas

Using grilled pork tenderloin makes these fajitas lower in fat in than those made with beef flank steak.

Using pork tenderloin instead of the traditional beef steak reduces the amount of saturated fat in these fajitas.

Ingredients (Serves 8)

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into strips 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long
1 small onion, sliced
8 whole-wheat flour tortillas, about 8 inches in diameter, warmed in the microwave
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 medium tomatoes, diced (about 3 cups)
4 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup salsa

Directions

Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler to medium-high or 400 F.

In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, oregano, paprika, coriander and garlic powder. Dredge the pork pieces in the seasonings, coating completely.

Place the pork strips and onions in a cast-iron pan or grill basket. Grill or broil at medium-high heat, turning several times, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

To serve, spread an equal amount of pork strips and onions on each tortilla. Top each with 1 tablespoon cheese, 2 tablespoons tomatoes, 1/2 cup shredded lettuce and 2 tablespoons salsa. Fold sides of tortilla over the filling, then roll to close.
