Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 F.
Prepare marinade: Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, crushed garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a 1-quart zippered bag. Add the pork chop and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, turning occasionally.
Remove the pork chop from the marinade, pat dry, and sprinkle both sides with chili powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Sear the pork chop for 1 minute, then reduce heat to medium-low, flip, cover, and cook 5 to 7 minutes.
Transfer the cooked pork chop to a pie pan and place it in the preheated oven to keep warm. Also, warm tortillas, wrapped in paper towels, on a cookie sheet in the oven.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the same skillet and increase heat to medium. Add peppers, sprinkle with cumin, and cook until softened, stirring. Stir in jalapeno and garlic for 1 minute, then add tomato and green onions for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and cover.
Slice the pork chop thinly across the grain, then add to the skillet with the cooked peppers and mix.
Divide the mixture among the warm tortillas and add desired garnishes.
