Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Cut the pork loin into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide. Place in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Add minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pork strips. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Fry the Pork

    Once the oil is hot, add the marinated pork strips in batches. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried pork strips from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lime wedges and your choice of sides.
