Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup finely chopped red onion
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- Lime juice (to taste)

Instructions
- Marinate the pork tenderloin by mixing olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the pork in this mixture and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the corn salsa by combining corn, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Preheat the grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated pork for about 15-20 minutes until its internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), turning occasionally.
- Remove the pork from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Warm taco shells in a separate pan or microwave until soft.
- Assemble tacos by layering sliced pork on each shell topped with corn salsa and any additional toppings you prefer.
