Instructions

  • On a cutting board, pat dry washed pork tenderloin and brush evenly with ½ cup chimichurri sauce until evenly coated. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

  • Heat tortillas in a hot pan, about 30 seconds per side. Assemble each taco starting with shredded lettuce, sliced red onions, then sliced pork. Top with chimichurri sauce, cotija cheese crumbles and sliced radish. 
  • Serve immediately with remaining chimichurri sauce, sliced jalapenos and lime wedges on the side as optional flavor garnishes.
