Notes
• Slice pork thinly for best tenderness
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet
• Boneless pork chops can be used instead of tenderloin To make as a freezer meal: Make the seasoning. In a large bowl, add the prepped pork tenderloin, sliced peppers and onions. Season with the olive oil and a few teaspoons of your prepared fajita seasoning. Add the mixture to a gallon sized freezer bag. Label it! Lay flat to freeze. To cook from a freezer meal: Thaw overnight in the fridge. Cook in a large skillet over medium high heat until pork is cooked to 145 degrees and veggies are tender, stirring occasionally.
