Ingredients
-
2 medium yellow bell peppers, halved and seeded
-
1 medium white onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
-
5 tablespoons canola or avocado oil, divided
-
1 teaspoon salt, divided
-
1 (12 ounce) pork tenderloin
-
1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves and tender stems
-
1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
-
3 tablespoons lime juice
-
8 6-inch corn tortillas
-
4 medium radishes, thinly sliced
-
½ cup crumbled queso fresco
-
Lime wedges for serving
Directions
-
Heat a grill to medium-high.
-
Brush peppers and onion with 1 tablespoon oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Brush pork tenderloin with 1 tablespoon oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Grill the vegetables until tender and lightly charred, about 4 minutes per side. Grill the pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145°F, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Let the pork rest for 5 to 6 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, place the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor. Pulse until slightly chunky, 10 to 15 times.
-
Grill tortillas until lightly charred, about 1 minute per side. Thinly slice the pork and vegetables. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the cilantro mixture and toss to coat. Serve the pork and vegetables in the tortillas, topped with radish slices and queso fresco. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
