Ingredients

• 2 pound pork tenderloin (trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
• 1 can black beans (15 oz can, drained and rinsed)
• 1 can sweet corn (15.25 oz can, drained)
• 1 red bell pepper (medium, diced)
• 1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 6 flour tortillas (warmed)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Season the diced pork tenderloin with ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and salt.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.
3. Add yellow onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 4 minutes until vegetables soften.
4. Stir in drained black beans and sweet corn. Cook for 3 minutes until heated through.
5. Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over top. Cover for 2 minutes to allow cheese to melt.
6. Serve hot scooped inside warm flour tortillas.
