Ingredients:
- 1 large pork tenderloin (about 600 g), trimmed
- 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 2 tsp fajita seasonings
- 2 sweet peppers (red and/or yellow), thinly sliced
- 2 small heads of red onion (cut one and a half into thick rings, and the remaining one into thin rings)

- 2 smooth-skinned cucumbers, chopped
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped pickled jalapenos, + 1 tablespoon brine
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- Juice of half a lime + wedges for serving

Preparation:
- Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven under the broiler; heat on broiler mode for 5 minutes.

- Meanwhile, add the bell pepper, thick onion rings, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and the remaining 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning to a bowl; toss to combine.
- Turn the pork over and arrange the vegetables around it. Cook, stirring the vegetables and turning the pork occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and charred around the edges and a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C), 5 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Continue to stir-fry the vegetables if necessary.
