Step 1
Pat the pork slices dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches to avoid crowding, sear pork slices 60-90 seconds per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4
Transfer cooked pork to a plate. Squeeze lime juice over the top and toss gently with cilantro.
Step 5
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 20 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 6
Fill each tortilla with pork, fold, and serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
