Directions

Split the pork tenderloin in half.

If you are grilling the pork, Heat your grill.

Cut pork into small bite size pieces.

Proceed to fixings!

Stove top:

Once the pan is really hot add the pork and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until pork is cooked through.

Proceed to fixings!

Fixings:

Before serving:

Heat tortillas either by placing in foil and heating in the oven to warm(for about 10 minutes) or you can heat them in a skillet with a little oil.

If using the skillet method, heat pan with a little bit of oil(about 1 tsp) and cook tortillas a few seconds on each side.

repeat for remaining tortillas.

Drain on paper towels.

Make Pico De Gallo by combining all ingredients.

Place in a bowl and set aside until ready to serve.

Serving:

Place pork on platter with warm tortillas.

Set out fixings so everyone can build their own tacos using lettuce, pico de Gallo, sour cream and cheese.

You can also serve picante sauce on the side if you prefer!

Build tacos with pork, and your favorite fixings.

After building your pork taco, squeeze fresh lime juice over taco and enjoy!

D! These sound so tasty - love the pico, and love the whole idea of pork tenderloin on a taco with all the fixings...I have several tenderloins in the freezer, so I will try to get this one on the table next week. Thanks for a great idea (and one I'm sure I will become addicted to!)...Krum
