PORK TENDERLOIN TACOS
Pork Tenderloin Tacos: We flavor lean pork tenderloin in an easy soy sauce and lime marinade, crisp it up in a cast-iron skillet and then nestle it into charred corn tortillas with an easy corn salsa and zippy lime crema. Healthy, easy and so satisfying.

Steps:
- Don't prep any of the ingredients until you marinate the pork.
- Using a sharp knife, cut pork tenderloin into ¼-inch slices. Cut slices into 1/8-1/4-inch strips.
- Add soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, honey, chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin to a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add sliced pork. Use tongs to toss the pork in the marinade.
- Prep and chop the ingredients.
- Add corn, red pepper, jalapeno, one garlic clove, cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and ¼ teaspoon salt to a medium bowl. Toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- After assembling salsa, give the pork a stir.
- Add Greek yogurt, chipotle in adobo, remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice, remaining garlic clove, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt to a small bowl. Stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- If the pork hasn't marinated for at least 15 minutes, let it marinate until you reach 15 minutes. You can also marinate the pork tenderloin up to three days in advance in the refrigerator.
- Drain the marinade from the pork and discard. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. This will help to sear the pork versus steam it.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Once the skillet is very hot, add ¾ tablespoon of the oil, about 2 teaspoons to the skillet. Swirl to coat. Add half of the pork tenderloin. Make sure the pork is evenly spread out on the pan. Don't move it so it can sear properly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip and sear on the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Pork tenderloin cooks very quickly. Remove from the pan and repeat with remaining half of the pork.
- While the pork cooks, place corn tortillas in a kitchen towel. Heat for 35 seconds until warm and pliable. You can also char them over a gas stove flame.
- To assemble. Transfer pork to tortilla. Dollop with yogurt. Cover with corn salsa. Squeeze extra lime juice on top if desired.

Steps:
- Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. Add the garlic, chile powder and cumin, and mix well, massaging the seasoning into the meat with fingers. Let the meat marinate for at least an hour, or refrigerate overnight.
- Heat the oil in a wide cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil looks wavy, add the meat and let it sizzle, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and keep meat warm.
- Heat the tortillas on an ungreased hot griddle or cast iron pan. Turn them once or twice until hot and slightly puffed. As they come off the griddle, stack them on a cloth napkin to steam, with another napkin on top.
- To assemble the tacos, stack 2 hot tortillas on a plate. Spoon on a little sizzled pork, then top with a spoonful of tomatillo salsa and another of salsa cruda. Garnish with radishes and cilantro sprigs. Serve and eat immediately.

COFFEE-RUBBED GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE CUCUMBER SALSA
Steps:
- For the pork tenderloin tacos: Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat on one side and medium-low heat on the other. Mix to combine the brown sugar, chili powder, coffee grounds, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Brush the pork tenderloins all over with the oil, then sprinkle over the dry rub on all sides.
- Grill the pork on the high-heat side until it is nicely charred on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Move the pork to the medium-low heat side of the grill for indirect grilling. Cover the grill and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloin registers 150 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice for tacos.
- To warm the tortillas, heat the tortillas on the grill over low heat, turning once to brown them up a bit. Wrap them in foil to keep them warm until it's time to eat.
- For the pineapple cucumber salsa: Stir to combine the pineapple, cucumber, jalapeno, lime juice, onion, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
- For the assembly: To build each taco, place some pork onto a tortilla. Top with some shredded cabbage, pineapple cucumber salsa, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
PORK TENDERLOIN TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE AND QUICK-PICKLED RED ONIONS
Steps:
- In a container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the onion with the vinegar, ice, and a generous pinch of salt. Close the container and shake to dissolve the salt. Refrigerate while you prepare the pork.
- In a small bowl, whisk the chile powder with the paprika, cumin, garlic powder, coriander, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Set the spice mixture aside.
- Using a sharp knife, butterfly the pork tenderloin: Slice almost in half lengthwise, stopping about 1/2 inch from cutting through; open like a book on a work surface. Using your palm or a meat mallet, pound the tenderloin to an even thickness. Drizzle the pork with olive oil and season with the spice mixture.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet, grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons olive oil and then the pork. Cook, flipping once, until charred on the outside and the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, warm the tortillas over an open flame or in the microwave; wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Carve the pork against the grain and transfer to a platter. Serve the pork in the tortillas with sour cream, cilantro leaves, diced pineapple, hot sauce, and the pickled red onions.
SHREDDED PORK TACOS
I used to make a similar recipe with beef, but I switched to pork when we lived in Singapore for 3 years. Beef was expensive and not very good there. We like it so much with pork, we never switched back.

TERIYAKI PORK TACOS
An intro to fusion foods. Teriyaki marinated pork tenderloin turned into a sweet and spicy taco. Could also be used as a filling for some oven-baked chimichangas, or burritos. This is just a basic recipe I cam eup with using ingredients I had on hand. I'm sure others can find other ways to use it or add/remove things to make it their own. Try it!
