Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil divided
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 18 ounces boneless pork chops cut into thin strips
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper de-seeded, de-ribbed and chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper de-seeded, de-ribbed and chopped
  • 1 large tomato cut into wedges
  • 6 8-inch whole wheat flour tortillas

Optional Garnishes

  • salsa
  • sour cream
  • cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate pork overnight or for at least 30 minutes (see recipe). In a large zipper-topped plastic bag, combine 2 teaspoons of olive oil, the lemon juice, garlic, chili powder and oregano; add pork strips, seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight or for at least 30 minutes. Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onion and bell peppers and sauté until tender-crisp. Add pork strips and stir-fry for 3 to 7 minutes or until cooked through. Add tomatoes and stir-fry for 1 minute. Fill warmed tortillas with meat/vegetable mixture and garnish as desired.
