    Guest posting today and sharing her delicious recipe is Velva Knapp from “Tomatoes on the Vine”. Velva has a beautiful blog filled with fantastic recipes. Thank you, Velva, for being here!

    ~Erica

    We often purchase a large pork loin from Costco, to cut-into chops and roasts for several meals.  We often cut the last pound or so into thin strips to make tacos or fajitas.

    For these tacos we used a sweet and spicy pork seasoning blend from to flavor the pork for this kicked-up version.

    This is one flavorful and healthy way to serve up soft tacos, fajita style at your house.

    Enjoy!

      I like it, especially the tip about slicing up the end of the pork loin. I already do that with chops and roasts but hadn't thought to chop some up for this or even stir fry.

      I am a huge fan of southwestern cooking. These look amazing, the only change I would do is to use the cilantro in the main dish as well as the salsa.

      Erica, this is fantastic- I want two please, and I am making them for hubby! He loves his pork, although I began a flexitarian eating style, alternating meats once a month, he could eat it 24/7!

      Fantastic recipe, as we too love fajitas. We always buy large cuts of meat and do our own butcher at home portions. Also love the name of the spice rub.
      Thanks Erica and Velva.
