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.
