Skillet Pork Sirloin Fajitas
Our Cinco de Mayo menu includes a skillet pork sirloin fajitas bowl and cheesy pork sirloin fajitas quesadillas for those that prefer the handhelds. Both dishes are simple and use easy ingredients, such as seasonal produce and Mexican seasonings and spices.
Equipment
- Grilling skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Lime juicer
- Tongs
- Sheet pan
- Parchment paper
- Cutting board
- Knife
Ingredients
For the black sauce
- 2 limes juiced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black habanero sauce can replace with green or red habanero
- 1 tablespoon black seasoning sauce can replace with soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Mexican spices mix thyme, oregano, marjoram
- 3 garlic cloves minced
For the Pork Sirloin Fajitas
- 2 pounds pork sirloin sliced
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
- 1 pint mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 3 green peppers julienned
- 1 red pepper julienned
- 1 yellow pepper julienned
- 1 orange pepper julienned
- 1 brown onion sliced
- 1 purple onion sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade combining all the ingredients and setting aside. In a mixing bowl add the pork sirloin slices and add some cooking oil. Rub the pork with your hands.
- Then add the marinade to the pork meat and using your hands again mix well making sure the marinade has touched each pork sirloin slice. Keep it inside the fridge overnight or at least two hours. The marinade process can be done using a vacuum sealing bag which is freezer friendly too.
- Prep all the produce by cleaning and slicing the mushrooms, the peppers, and the onions. Place the cut produce in a baking sheet previously covered with parchment paper. Drizzle some cooking oil and broil inside the oven on low for 10-15 minutes or until the veggies are grilled.
- Set the grilling skillet in the stove, add some cooking oil and grill the pork sirloin steaks on both sides. The pork is ready when reaching an internal temperature of 145° F followed by a 3-minute rest before slicing.
- Serve the skillet pork sirloin fajitas with brown rice and black beans. Another option is to make a quesadilla using flour tortillas and Mexican cheese mix. Cook in the skillet until toasty on both sides. Slice and serve with avocado and a hot sauce.

Notes
- I recommend buying extra pork sirloin, season it and keep it vacuum-sealed inside the freezer for future enjoyment.
- This recipe for the skillet pork sirloin works for grilling season too. Take out your grill and cook the pork fajitas to add that grilled charring flavor.
- Save the leftovers and make other dishes. Few options include pork sirloin fried rice with soy sauce, pork burritos, pork quesadillas, or pork sirloin tacos.
- I used a baking sheet to roast the veggies, but you can sautee or use a grilling basket if grilling outdoors.
- Prepare a homemade hot sauce to offer a Mexican fiesta experience. I added chiltepin red sauce, but you can make a jalapeño restaurant-style sauce or a green sauce with tomatillos and serranos.
