Pork Fajitas
Serves 2-3 people.
Ingredients:
2-3 Pork Chops
1 Small/Medium Yellow Onion
Half of a green Pepper
Half of a red pepper
Peanut Oil
Sesame Oil
Half of a cilantro sprig
A Lime
Fresh Ground Pepper
Rock salt
Large Soft Tortillas
Your Favourite salsa (pineapple works well here)
Cheddar Cheese
Romaine Lettuce
Remove the excess fat from the pork chops and slice it into thin strips. Place the pork in a mixing bowl. Grind up some fresh pepper over top of the pork. Season with salt. I tend to be pretty generous with the pepper, only slightly less so with the rock salt. Mix it all together in the mixing bowl.
Wash your hands whenever handling raw meat. Wash the peppers/cilantro/lettuce off and de-skin the onion. Chop the onion into small pieces. Slice the peppers into long strips. Dice the cilantro up. Break the lettuce into small pieces. Cut the lime in half, and one of the halves into quarters/thirds. I like to place the slices on the plates as a decorative touch, but they can also be used to squeeze over the pork. Grate some cheese up. You will have the cheese/lettuce/salsa available in seperate bowls to garnish each fajita you're making.
Heat up a skillet with the peanut oil and just a dab of the sesame oil. Place the pork on the skillet and distribute evenly so it all makes contact with the cooking surface and cooks evenly. Squeeze half of the lime over the entire cooking surface. The pork should lose it's raw colour fairly quickly, and flip all pieces over, making sure they are all thoroughly cooked, but not overly so, there should be minimal browning to the meat. About 1-2 minutes before it's done, sprinkle the cilantro over the cooking surface. Once the pork is cooked, put this aside into a clean bowl. There should be enough juices and oil left over to simply throw the onions/peppers onto the skillet and cook them. Cook until the onions have fully wilted and the peppers are just beginning to. Place the pork back into the centre of the skillet and you're just about done. Take your tortillas and heat them up for 45 seconds in the microwave.
You're done. Serve directly from the skillet onto a tortilla. Load it up with cheese, salsa, and lettuce.
Here's a tip on how to fold the tortilla.
