Tuesday's are Taco Tuesdays. For some reason I just didn't want to make my homemade tacos. I did make tacos though. I made these amazing Pork Tenderloin tacos with a tangy coleslaw. I also made my yummy homemade salsa. The recipe came from my favorite recipe site For the Love of Cooking. If you want to see what these flavorful, but different tacos looked like go there.
Because, we devoured ours before I could get a picture. I changed up the recipe abit to make it our own. Here it is:
Pork Tenderloin Tacos with Tangy Slaw
Adapted from For the Love of Cooking.com
1-2 tsp olive oil
1 medium Vidalia onion, sliced thin
1 pork tenderloin, cubed
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 tsp oregano
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until tender. Add the pork and spices to the onions. Stir until the pork and onions are well coated with the seasonings. Cook the pork and onions until the pork is cooked through.
Tangy Slaw:

1 tsp sugar
1 bag of shredded slaw mix, with carrots
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
3 small green onions, sliced

Combine the vinegar, canola oil, and sugar together in a bowl with a whisk. Place the cabbage mix, cilantro, and green onions together in a bowl and mix well. Add the vinaigrette to the mixture and toss until evenly coated.

Place the cooked pork into the warmed flour tortillas and layer with the tangy slaw. Serve with a side of homemade salsa, sour cream, and Mexican cheese. Enjoy.
