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.
