Preparation
PREP TIME: 10 minutes | COOK TIME: 25 minutes
Heat oven or toaster oven to 200°F. Roll tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm.
Whisk together 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and chili powder in large mixing bowl. Add pork and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at room temperature 15 minutes.
While pork is marinating, heat remaining oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add remaining lime juice, stir and remove from heat; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to cutting board and let rest 2 minutes.
Slice pork into thin strips, place on platter with peppers and onions and serve with warmed tortilla.
