The Grab & Go Juicy Pork Wrap

Prep time: 20 min (+ marinating) | Cook time: 15-20 min | Serves: 4

Ingredients

For the pork:

• 500g fresh pork loin steaks, boneless (Lidl vepřové plátky bez kosti)
• Juice of 1 lemon (citron)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (česnek)
• 2 tsp paprika (paprika)
• 2 tsp ground cumin (mletý římský kmín)
• Salt (sůl) and pepper (pepř) to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil (olivový olej)
• 1 white onion, chopped (bílá cibule)
• 1 red pepper, chopped (červená paprika)

For the wrap:

• 4 wraps (Lidl proteinové wrapy, 320g pack of 8, use 4)
• 1 head romaine lettuce (římský salát), sliced thin
• Splash of white vinegar (bílý ocet), for washing lettuce

Instructions

1. Cut the pork into thin strips. Mix with lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and oil. Marinate 15-30 minutes (no longer, or the lemon will dry it out).
2. Wash the lettuce: slice the romaine into thin strips, then rinse in a bowl with a splash of white vinegar and water. Drain well and pat completely dry.
3. Heat a pan on high with a little oil. Sear the pork in batches (don't overcrowd) 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through, no pink left inside.
4. Add the extra flavor: Put the pork aside, add the chopped onion and red pepper to the pan, and cook 2-3 minutes until soft.
5. Mix everything together in the pan, add a splash of water, and let it simmer 1-2 minutes to bring the flavors together.
6. Let the pork cool.
7. Assemble your wrap: Lay the dried lettuce on each wrap first, then divide the pork mixture evenly across the 4 wraps, and roll tightly. Optional: wrap in foil or plastic wrap.

Notes

• Assemble the night before or morning of, great on your way to class with only 15 minutes to eat.
• Keep pork and lettuce in separate containers, then combine right before eating for max crunch.
• No soy sauce needed, the lemon, garlic, and spices carry the flavor.
• Add salt as needed.
• Makes 4 wraps, you'll have 4 protein wraps left in the pack for next time.

That's it, practical, fulfilling, and done.
