Prep Ahead Steps
MAKE CREMA. Chop the cilantro. Make the Cilantro Lime Crema by mixing the sour cream, cilantro, and salt. Cut the lime in half (stem to bottom) and add juice from half. Cut the other half into wedges for serving with finished fajitas. Mix the crema and keep in the fridge until serving.
PREP VEGGIES. Peel, de-seed, and slice the peppers and onions into thin slices and place in a large bowl in the fridge until ready to mix with other ingredients.
PREP PORK. Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips about 3 inches long and ½ inch wide. Add to a bowl with sliced peppers and onions, along with the olive oil and water.
MIX SEASONINGS. Mix seasonings in a small bowl (chili powder, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper), then pour over the pork and veggies and mix to combine and coat.
Cooking Steps
ROAST. Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees. Transfer the pork and veggies to a large sheet pan that is coated with olive oil. Spread out into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
HEAT TORTILLAS. While the pork and veggies bake, preheat a large pan and add the flour tortillas to slightly toast them on each side.
Serve the tortillas with the pork and veggies and top with the Crema. Enjoy!
