Dig into these super easy pork fajitas, just right for family dinners on busy nights! Thank you to Smithfield for sponsoring this recipe.
Don’t these pork fajitas look like a perfect dinner? They are super quick and easy too! I definitely have pork on my mind right now because tomorrow I’m leaving to visit Smithfield, VA and tour the Smithfield facilities. It’s going to be a busy, whirlwind trip, and you can follow along on Instagram if you’d like. I know a tour of the smokehouse and a dinner involving a whole smoked pig are involved, so needless to say I’m pretty excited!
When I get home, I’m going to be worn out, so I think we’ll have a repeat dinner of these pork fajitas. They are seriously so perfect for nights when you’re feeling extra weary. (I did make my own corn tortillas since they are so much better than storebought, but those are pretty fast too!) Slice up an onion and pepper and a Smithfield marinated pork loin filet, and then saute them with a few extra seasonings for the veggies. Dinner is done, and it will feel like a party even on a plain old weeknight. Mexican food always makes dinner more fun if you ask me!
The deliciously tender, fresh Smithfield pork really shines in this dish. I have to say that I actually liked this pork fajitas recipe better than steak because the meat is so tender and flavorful. Sometimes strips of steak can be a bit tough to bite through in fajitas, but Smithfield marinated pork always seems to melt in your mouth no matter how you cook it!
Before I get to this recipe, let me recap the other recipes I’ve made so far this year with Smithfield marinated pork to remind you how versatile this meat is!
- Slow Cooker Pork Chile Verde (Just right for cold nights!)
- Herbed Pork Grilled Cheese (Ultimate comfort food.)
- Grilled Pork and Apple Kebabs (Pork and apple make the best pair!)
- Grilled Stuffed Pork Loin (This one is not to be missed. You can make it in the oven too!)
I have one more recipe in the works for you this year that will feature marinated pork AND bacon, and it will be perfect for holiday entertaining. Stay tuned for that, but until then, enjoy these fajitas!

This is a supper we would love!
Thanks, Jaren!
We do fajitas all the time, but never have I ever made them with pork and I’m not sure why! Love this recipe, Andi!
Thank you, Justine! xo
A whole smoked pig! That sounds like fun. And these fajitas do look perfect! I’ve never tried pork fajitas but that’s going to change after seeing these. I hope you have a great trip. :)
It was so fun! A huge rainstorm came along, so it wasn’t quite the dining experience we expected. We just moved inside and still had a great time though. Thank you, Erin. I hope you are having a good week :)
These fajitas look great! Have a fab time at Smithfield… I just got back from the Care to Farm trip in NC, and a few were continuing on to Smithfield! Jealous of that whole hog roast… YUM!
Oh yes, I saw Kellie there, and she said she was on that trip with you. We had a nice time, but I’m so tired. i’m on the plane home now trying to catch up on work a little. I’ll talk to you soon!
These would be perfect for dinner in my house!
Thank you, Gerry!
Wait a minute…you MAKE your own tortillas? Way to raise the bar!
It is so flippin’ easy, Dorothy! I wrote a post about it a couple months ago. I can’t eat flour tortillas, and the corn ones from the store are so dry and always crack. Homemade is the way to go!
