Method

In bowl, toss pork slices with 2 tbsp of the oil, chili powder and lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper.

In same skillet, heat remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add onion and jalapeño; cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add reserved pork to skillet and cook, stirring often, for 1 to 2 minutes.

Serve over cooked quinoa and top with cilantro and lime wedges, if using. Serve with Cilantro & Avocado Crema.
