Preparation

Step 1

*Cut onion into 8 wedges, spray w/ olive oil, sprinkle w/ chile powder, salt & pepper Marinate the pork for 30 minutes in 1/4 cup mirin, chile powder, ground cumin, crumbled dry oregano, & garlic powder. (I used pork sirloin roast, cut thicker - so more than 2 min cooking time)

Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Arrange the cutlets and onion on a large baking sheet. Brush all over with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Season the cutlets with the chile powder.

Grill the onions over moderately high heat, turning once, until charred and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm. Grill the cutlets, turning once, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes.

Transfer the pork to the cutting board. Coarsely chop the onions and cut the pork into 1/2-inch strips; transfer to a platter. Serve with the tortillas, avocado, cilantro, sour cream and lime wedges.
