Roasted Pork Tenderloin Tacos
- 1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 tablespoons mojo marinade (such as Goya)
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup thinly vertically sliced red onion
- 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- 1 jalapeno pepper, cut into 16 slices
- 1 ripe avocado, cut into 16 wedges
- 1/4 cup Mexican crema
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0.
- Sprinkle pork with pepper and salt. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add pork; cook 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Place pan in oven. Bake at 425u0b0 for 8 minutes or until a thermometer registers 145u0b0 (slightly pink); let stand 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into 16 slices. Combine pork and mojo marinade in a medium bowl; toss to coat pork.
- Combine vinegar, 3 tablespoons water, and sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; add onion. Let stand 10 minutes; drain.
- Working with 1 tortilla at a time, toast in a pan or over a flame of a gas burner until tender and blackened in spots. Arrange 2 pork slices in center of each tortilla; top with about 2 tablespoons onion, 2 jalapeno slices, 2 avocado wedges, and 1 1/2 teaspoons crema.
