Thank you OurBestBites.com!
Combine thinly sliced pork, lime zest, lime juice, oregano, salt, brown sugar, adobo sauce, and garlic in zip lock. Set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Add onions and saute for 4 min or till tender. Remove from pan and set aside. Add 2 tsp olive oil to pan and add pork mixture. Saute for 3-4 min or till no longer pink. Add pork to onions. Warm & toast tortillas in small fry pan w/ pam spray. Fill tortillas, top with avacado (or sour cream), and cilantro lime rice. YUM.
Loved this I would use a different Cilantro Lime Rice recipe so I didn't post it. I actually made mine with Minute Rice and stirred in alittle spray butter, lime juice & zest, cilantro, garlic salt, salt & pepper. HA! This was fairly quick, but I had defrosted my pork (which is pre-cut for stir fry) and I used minute rice. It was a yummy roasted pepper flavor and the avacado was the perfect touch.
