    low carb fajita lettuce wrap

    I'm back with more easy lettuce wraps!! Who doesn't like fajitas?? This meal is perfect for a busy weeknight and for anyone following a low carb or diabetes-friendly diet. Here we have pork tenderloin grilled or roasted for a slightly different spin. One of the reasons I love to make this with pork tenderloin (besides the awesome taste) is because it can be reheated with the same great flavor. Try cooking several tenderloins at once so you can use them throughout the week for a quick and tasty low carb meal. Let's get to the easy lettuce wraps recipe!!

    This meal can be either grilled or roasted depending upon your preference. Either way is delicious! Here I have the veggies spread onto a grill rack with the tenderloin beside it.

    The pork tenderloin sliced along with the veggies ready to be served. If possible, allow the tenderloins to rest after grilling about 5-10 minutes for best flavor and juiciness.
