Like the restaurant favorite, these fajitas will satisfy your Tex-Mex craving and be on the table faster than you can get take-out.

Makes 2 servings, about 1 1/2 cups filling each

ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes (not including pork marinating & grilling)

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

1 small green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch-wide strips
1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 teaspoons canola oil
Chipotle-Marinated Pork Tenderloin, grilled (recipe follows), thinly sliced and cut into strips
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream
1/4 cup prepared salsa
4 6-inch or two 10-inch flour tortillas, preferably whole-wheat, warmed (see Tip)

1. Preheat grill to high or heat a large indoor grill pan over high heat. Lightly brush peppers and onion with oil and grill (after the pork is done) until lightly browned and soft, turning once, 3 to 7 minutes. (If grilling on an indoor grill pan, you may need to grill the vegetables in two batches.) Let cool on a cutting board.
2. Chop the onion; toss the vegetables with the pork in a large bowl. Serve the pork and vegetable filling with sour cream, salsa and tortillas for making fajitas.

I marinated the pork for 24 hours and it was delicious. My indoor grill pan was large enough to cook the veggies & the pork at the same time. (Added the veggies after the pork had been cooking for about 8 minutes.) I also squeezed the juice of 1/2 lime and topped pork and veggies with chopped fresh cilantro. Generous servings for 2
