Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin, 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss pork with citrus juices, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic, sliced onion, salt.
- Spread on a sheet pan in a single layer. Roast 15 min until the pork is just cooked through (tenderloin stays tender — don't go past 145°F).
- Crank oven to broil. Broil 4–5 min until edges are crispy and the citrus has caramelized.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet (15 sec/side). Build tacos with pork, white onion, cilantro, lime.
