Step 1

In a large skillet, heat half a tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the pork and cook until browned and cooked thoroughly, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. Cover to keep warm.

Step 2

Add the remaining half tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic and sprinkle with the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, and salt and black pepper, if desired. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onion is beginning to caramelize and the peppers are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Return the pork to the skillet, mix with the vegetables and spices, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to heat through.

Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in paper towels and microwave on high for 3 minutes to warm them.

To serve, portion the pork and vegetable mixture into the tortillas and top with avocado slices. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and fresh cilantro.
