Ingredients
Scale
Pork 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
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the pork from sticking.
- Mix the Dry 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. This mixture will give the pork a sweet, smoky, and slightly spicy flavor.
- Rub the Pork: Pat the pork tenderloin dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Generously rub the spice mixture all over the pork, coating it evenly. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Roast the Pork: Place the seasoned pork on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes to retain juices.
- Slice the Pork: After resting, slice the pork very thinly on a diagonal, which helps maximize the tenderness and makes it easier to wrap.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm the flour tortillas. Place a portion of sliced pork on each tortilla, then add your desired fixings such as chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and optional diced onions. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, then drizzle with barbeque sauce and ranch dressing for the perfect flavor combination.
- Serve: Fold or roll the tortillas to enclose the fillings and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- You can substitute the oven roasting with grilling if preferred, which will add a nice smoky charred flavor.
- Adjust the cayenne pepper to control the heat level of the dry rub according to your taste.
- For a lower calorie option, use reduced-fat cheese and light ranch dressing.
- These wraps can be prepared ahead by cooking the pork in advance and assembling just before serving.
