Why I Love These Easy Asian Pork Tacos

These Asian-inspired pork tacos are perfect for the BBQ, but can also be made easily in the oven. It’s always nice to have options! They start with a single pork tenderloin, that is cut in half lengthwise, so it cooks up super quick. Add some fresh tomato and cucumber and a spicy Sriracha mayonnaise and it’s a quick, easy and delicious meal.

And I don’t want to forget to mention the green onions. They provide a surprising and delicious flavour hit and are perfect with the pork. I urge you not to skip them! Just throw them on the grill or broil them quickly in the oven. The only thing to note is that you’ll want to dice them fairly small, as if you leave them large, they are a little difficult to bite through. Just dice them fine and sprinkle them generously in with the pork.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Pork Tenderloin – pork tenderloin is recommended as it is both quick-cooking and always tender. Be sure to take the time to remove the silver skin along the side, for even cooking.

Flour Tortillas – I like these with flour tortillas, but corn tortillas will work just fine, as well.

Recipe Tips

If you’re looking at making ahead, the pork can easily be cooked ahead. Just allow to cool a bit, then wrap and refrigerate in whole pieces. Slice just before serving (you can re-heat in the microwave or serve cold/at room temperature.)
