#RealFlavorRealFast dinner pork recipe veggies wrap

Easy Pork Loin Lettuce Wraps

Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork. The opinions and text are all mine.

Easy Pork Loin Lettuce Wraps AD #RealFlavorRealFast | Mama Harris' KitchenThis summer I am all about the quick and easy meals for my family, like these Easy Pork Loin Lettuce Wraps. I’m loving colorful warmer weather recipes with a punch of flavor, but aren’t heavy or too time consuming. In the past week we’ve seen temperatures in the triple digits so it’s looking to be a HOT summer, and I surely don’t want to be cooking for hours in that kind of weather! These lettuce wraps are ready in under 30 minutes, can feed a big family or a handful of guests, and they’re lower carb! Sprinkled with different vegetables and a sweet and spicy flavor, they’re the perfect summertime dish – that’s real flavor, real fast.

Easy Pork Loin Lettuce Wraps AD #RealFlavorRealFast | Mama Harris' KitchenI used Smithfield Applewood Bacon Pork Loin Filet for this recipe because I thought the bacon would taste almost candied with the sweet and spicy sauce I was making for these lettuce cups. When I was browsing the fresh meat section at my local Safeway to purchase this, there was also the Smithfield Roasted Garlic & Herb Pork Loin Filet and the Smithfield Steakhouse Mushroom Pork Loin Filet that would both taste just as good with these lettuce wraps. The pork loin filets come pre-seasoned and marinated so you’re already getting great flavor in a quick meal, no matter how you make it. These would also be perfect on the grill served with a quick salad and are great to have on hand when you’re in a pinch for a quick dinner, no matter what day of the week it is.

Easy Pork Loin Lettuce Wraps AD #RealFlavorRealFast | Mama Harris' KitchenTo help the pork cook a bit faster I cut it in half down the middle lengthwise and did a quick pan sear before roasting in the oven. This helped to shave some of the roasting time and gave the meat a beautiful color. Be sure to sear in an oven safe skillet so you can just pop it in the oven right after.

Easy Pork Loin Lettuce Wraps AD #RealFlavorRealFast | Mama Harris' KitchenWhile the meat is roasting we sauté the veggies with that special sweet and spicy sauce. First the mushrooms so they can sweat it out, then adding the bell pepper, zucchini, green onions, garlic and ginger. What I love about this recipe is the flavor is in the actual food combined with the sauce, no additional salt or other spices are necessary!

Easy Pork Loin Lettuce Wraps AD #RealFlavorRealFast | Mama Harris' KitchenAfter ten minutes in the oven the pork loin internal temperature should be brought to between 145-160 degrees. Once it is, remove it from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing. To slice use a sharp serrated knife and cut, then dice into bite sizes pieces. Add the pork loin plus the bacon to the pan with the veggies and mix it all together.

Easy Pork Loin Lettuce Wraps AD #RealFlavorRealFast | Mama Harris' KitchenThe sauce is spicy yet sweet and it’s used throughout the cooking process. Spoon the filling into the lettuce leaves and drizzle a little more sauce, topping with cilantro and a squeeze of lime. These are incredible and such a great choice for dinner during these warmer weather months. I love that the meal is complete in just under 30 minutes, more time to enjoy the beautiful sunshine or hot summer evenings!

These easy pork loin lettuce wraps include a sweet and spicy sauce and BACON! A quick sear of the meat on the stove helps them come together in a snap!
Author: Mama Harris' Kitchen
Recipe type: Dinner
Cuisine: Fusion
Ingredients
For the sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1½ tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin
  • 2 teaspoons grapeseed oil
  • 1½ teaspoon sesame oil
For the filling
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • Smithfield Applewood Bacon Pork Loin Filet
  • 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, diced
  • 1 medium orange bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, diced
  • ½ medium zucchini, diced
  • 3 green onions, chopped with whites and greens separated
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 head butter lettuce
  • 2 limes
  • cilantro
Instructions
  1. Begin by combining all the ingredients for the sauce together. Stir it all together until it's well combined, then set aside. You'll be using this sauce throughout the cooking process.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil over medium heat in a larger skillet that's oven safe. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  3. Remove the Smithfield Applewood Bacon Pork Loin Filet from the packaging. Cut the pork loin filet in half lengthwise, then add it to the pan when the oil has warmed completely. Spoon about 3-4 tablespoons of the sauce over the pork loin.
  4. Sear the meat on each side (about 8 minutes total), adjusting the bacon toppings as needed.
  5. Once the pork has been seared on all sides, pile all the bacon crumbles back on top and put it in the preheated oven setting the timer for 10 minutes.
  6. While the pork is cooking in the oven, in another skillet add the other 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil and warm it over medium/low heat. Add the mushrooms.
  7. Sauté the mushrooms until they begin to soften and sweat. Give them a little stir, and then add in the orange bell pepper and zucchini. Continue to sauté, adding the white and green parts of the green onions, the garlic and the ginger. Spoon in another 2-3 tablespoons of the sauce and stir it all together.
  8. Remove the pork loin from the oven and insert a meat thermometer to be sure the internal temperature is between 145-160 degrees. If so, allow the meat to sit for another three minutes.
  9. Once the meat has cooled sufficiently, begin to cut into slices, then dice it into small pieces.
  10. Add the diced pork and the cooked bacon crumbles to the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Spoon in another 1-2 tablespoons of sauce.
  11. Carefully scoop the filling into the butter lettuce leaves. Top with cilantro and a few squeezes of lime. Serve with the remaining sauce.

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
