Ingredients
Scale
For the Pork Tenderloin Rub
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry onion flakes
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin (dry rubbed, cooked, sliced on the diagonal)
- chopped lettuce
- diced tomatoes
- diced onions (optional)
- shredded cheddar cheese
- barbeque sauce
- ranch dressing
- flour tortillas (warmed)
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the pork from sticking.
- Make the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and dry onion flakes. Pat the pork tenderloin dry using paper towels, then generously rub the spice mixture all over the pork. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Pork Tenderloin: Place the rubbed pork tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice the Pork: After resting, slice the pork tenderloin very thinly on a diagonal for optimal texture and presentation.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm the flour tortillas to make them pliable. Place a portion of sliced pork on each tortilla and add your preferred toppings such as chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions (if desired), and shredded cheddar cheese. Drizzle generously with barbecue sauce and ranch dressing for that signature flavor combination.
- Serve: Roll up the tortilla wraps tightly and serve immediately while the pork is warm.
Notes
- For an alternative cooking method, you can grill the pork tenderloin instead of roasting it.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper according to your preferred spice level.
- Use gluten-free tortillas if you need a gluten-free option.
- Letting the pork rest after cooking is important to keep it juicy and tender.
- Feel free to add any other fresh vegetables or toppings of your choice.
