School is back in session and our evenings have gone from summer relaxed to a mad scramble! One kid is coming while the other is going. It is so hard for us to have a sit-down family dinner during the week. Are your school nights like this?

Thank goodness for this easy street taco recipe. They come together really quickly making dinner in under 30 minutes a reality. The hero of this easy meal is Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork. Their pre-seasoned pork loin filet cooks up beautifully on the grill. There are several delicious flavors, like the Applewood Bacon Pork Loin Filet I used for this recipe.

This pork loin filet was marinated with lots of delicious applewood bacon. Look at all of that crispy bacon! I couldn’t believe how much bacon was marinating with this pork loin filet. If you love applewood bacon, this is a must try! You get real flavor, real fast with Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork.

(*Note your family will fight over who gets the crispy bacon bits when you take this pork loin filet off the grill so you are hereby warned!!)

Marinaded Pork Loin filet

Here is the Smithfield pork loin filet we bought. Safeway is a great place to shop for Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork. Just look in the fresh meat counter! Our local Safeway store had several flavors of this tenderloin including:

• Smithfield Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Loin Filet
• Smithfield Applewood Bacon Pork Loin Filet
• Smithfield Steakhouse Mushroom Pork Loin Filet
• Smithfield Hardwood Smoked Bacon & Cracked Black Pepper Pork Loin Filet

I wanted you to see what the packaging looks like so you recognize it in the stores :-). I will be trying each of their flavors after seeing how much my family loved this pork loin filet. It was moist and delicious!

How to cook pork loin filet

There are a few quick and easy ways to cook this pork loin filet. It is important to have a meat thermometer. Pork loin filet should have an internal temperature of 140 to 145 degrees. Make sure you also check several parts of the tenderloin because one end may be thicker than the other.

• Grilled: We grilled our pork loin filet in about 20 minutes! There was a lot of bacon and we didn’t want to lose any between the grill grates so I cooked it on a piece of foil. If you have a marinated flavor that doesn’t have bacon, feel free to grill the meat directly on the grill.
• Sautéed: This Smithfield pork loin filet can be sautéed easily in a cast iron skillet or another pan.
• Roasted: You can roast the pork loin filet in your oven and still have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Just roast at 425 in a baking dish or a cast iron skillet.
• Slow Cooked: If you have a slow cooker, you can cook this tenderloin while you are at the office. Come home to a ready made meal!

The first step in making gluten-free street tacos is to have corn tortillas. Double check to make sure the corn tortillas are gluten-free. They usually are, but it is always best to read the ingredients.

Place the sliced pork loin filet onto the tortillas. From here you can choose the toppings that your family will love. We used bagged broccoli slaw. Having greens ready helps get this dinner recipe on the table quickly. My kids also love avocado, but you can use any toppings. If your kids love a more traditional taco, use tomatoes and salsa!
