Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin patted dry with paper towels
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar light brown sugar preferred
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dry onion flakes
  • 4 flour tortillas burrito-size, warmed
  • chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce
  • diced tomatoes
  • diced onions optional
  • shredded sharp cheddar cheese sharp cheddar recommended
  • barbeque sauce to taste
  • ranch dressing yogurt-based preferred

Equipment

  • Rimmed baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil
  • Instant-read thermometer
  • Small mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Combine all dry rub ingredients in a small bowl and stir to mix. Pat pork tenderloin completely dry with paper towels, rub spice mixture firmly over all surfaces, and let sit uncovered at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  3. Place pork on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, checking at 30 minutes with an instant-read thermometer. Pull from oven when internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F at the thickest part.
  4. Tent pork loosely with foil and let rest for a full 10 minutes before slicing. Do not skip this step.
  5. Slice rested pork very thinly on the diagonal. Warm tortillas over a gas burner for 20 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds.
  6. Build wraps with sliced pork, lettuce, tomatoes, onions if using, and shredded cheddar. Drizzle with barbeque sauce and ranch dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not skip the resting step after roasting. Resting locks in the juices and keeps the pork tender when sliced. Leftover pork stores in the fridge for up to 3 days and works great on salads, in quesadillas, or over rice for a second meal.
