I used to make a similar recipe with beef, but I switched to pork when we lived in Singapore for 3 years. Beef was expensive and not very good there. We like it so much with pork, we never switched back.

1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound), cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 to 4 flour tortillas (7 inches), warmed

In a skillet, brown pork in oil. Remove from pan and keep warm. In same skillet, saute onion and garlic in drippings until tender.
