They are bursting with flavor and come together with ease, perfect for busy weeknights or casual get-togethers.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you&#8217;re looking to shake up your taco routine, these Juicy Pork Tenderloin Tacos are just the thing! Tender, perfectly cooked pork gets a flavor-packed upgrade with simple seasonings, making each bite deliciously satisfying. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether you&#8217;re planning a laid-back taco Tuesday or need a no-fuss meal that feels special, this recipe is a go-to favorite you’ll want to make again and again. Grab the tortillas, because these tacos are about to steal the show!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="907" src="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/blackstone-pork-tenderloin-tacos-createdbydiane-680x907.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-45024" srcset="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/blackstone-pork-tenderloin-tacos-createdbydiane-680x907.jpg 680w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/blackstone-pork-tenderloin-tacos-createdbydiane-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/blackstone-pork-tenderloin-tacos-createdbydiane.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>I cook a lot of food and just love cooking on the Blackstone, it saves me a ton of time since I can cook so much at once, and it saves me doing so many dishes too!</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tired of the same old Taco Tuesday? These juicy pork tenderloin tacos are about to become your new obsession. Bursting with flavor, easy to prep, and totally crowd-pleasing, this recipe is a winner whether it&#8217;s a weeknight dinner or weekend gathering.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t wait&#8230; these pork tacos are too good to save for just one night of the week. You can also swap out the pork for chicken, pork loin, or even shrimp using the same marinade. It&#8217;s a flexible, flavor-packed meal you’ll come back to again and again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pork tenderloin is really lean and tender, and I often get it at Costco, about 5 lbs for $15, or you can use chicken or pork loin. I slice it into strips or dice it. Alternatively, you can cut it into pieces, then dice it smaller if you like, when it&#8217;s done cooking.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The smaller the pieces of meat are, make it easier to eat inside tortillas, and since it&#8217;s so tender&#8230; you&#8217;ll want to eat more!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="680" height="907" src="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/cast-iron-skillet-pork-tacos-createeedbydiane-680x907.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-45025" srcset="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/cast-iron-skillet-pork-tacos-createeedbydiane-680x907.jpg 680w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/cast-iron-skillet-pork-tacos-createeedbydiane-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/cast-iron-skillet-pork-tacos-createeedbydiane.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>And you can certainly cook the pork in a skillet, get it nice and hot so as it cooks, you&#8217;ll get some great flavor added to it.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The marinade is full of flavor, citrusy, and delicious. If using fish or shrimp, marinate for an hour. Meat can be marinated longer, up to 24 hours. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I love pork tacos, and <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/instant-pot-shredded-pork/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="" data-wpel-link="internal">carnitas</a> are one of my favorite varieties of tacos. It&#8217;s more time-consuming to cook pork shoulder roast so it&#8217;s really tender. I do have a great recipe for <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/instant-pot-shredded-pork/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="" data-wpel-link="internal">Instant Pot Shredded Pork</a>. I make them about every other month. I make tacos every week. I can&#8217;t resist them. Give me all the tacos! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="680" height="907" src="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/blackstone-pork-tacos-createdbydiane-680x907.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-45026" srcset="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/blackstone-pork-tacos-createdbydiane-680x907.jpg 680w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/blackstone-pork-tacos-createdbydiane-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/blackstone-pork-tacos-createdbydiane.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Aren&#8217;t these blue corn tortillas great&#8230; I got them at Aldi</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And I&#8217;m pretty obsessed with:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li> <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/restaurant-style-salsa-recipe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="" data-wpel-link="internal">Chips and Salsa</a></li>



<li><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/guacamole/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="" data-wpel-link="internal">Guacamole</a></li>

</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Fully committed to the taco lifestyle</strong>!<br> I love <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/carne-asada-dry-rub/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="" data-wpel-link="internal">carne asada tacos</a>, and I pretty much rate a Mexican restaurant by their <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/restaurant-style-salsa-recipe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="" data-wpel-link="internal">chips and salsa</a>. I love grabbing quick tacos, but don&#8217;t really have a favorite taco shop nearby, so I end up making them more at home than I eat them out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This means it&#8217;s pretty much Taco Tuesday just about every day of the week here! Be sure to see how I make <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/taco-bowls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="" data-wpel-link="internal">Taco Bowls</a>!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Simple, delicious flavors come together wonderfully.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Cilantro lime rice</li>



<li>Pork tenderloin with onions and jalapenos</li>



<li>Vegetables, Brussels sprouts, red cabbage, and green onions</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="680" height="907" src="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/pork-tenderloin-and-vegetables-cooked-on-the-blackstone--680x907.png" alt="" class="wp-image-43353" srcset="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/pork-tenderloin-and-vegetables-cooked-on-the-blackstone--680x907.png 680w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/pork-tenderloin-and-vegetables-cooked-on-the-blackstone--225x300.png 225w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/pork-tenderloin-and-vegetables-cooked-on-the-blackstone-.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I cooked this dish on a Blackstone griddle, it can be grilled using a grill pan or keeping the pork tenderloin larger and using the pan for the vegetables. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, it can be cooked in two skillets on the stove or placed on a baking sheet and cooked in the oven at 400° for 10-15 minutes. It&#8217;s great to have options, right!?!</p>

<p class="kt-adv-heading43302_8bcf3b-25 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading" data-kb-block="kb-adv-heading43302_8bcf3b-25">Sauces make everything better! I love sauces, and <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/cilantro-lime-sauce-on-scallop-tacos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>cilantro lime sauce</strong></a> makes it to the top of my favorites list. It&#8217;s the perfect blend of cilantro, lime, and jalapenos, I added a couple of jalapenos to make it a bit spicy&#8230; total yumminess!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are some meals that no matter what, you don&#8217;t tire of . </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Taco bowls are the meals for me and my whole family, </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">you should see these containers &#8220;FLY&#8221; out of the fridge or freezer,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">as soon as they see them&#8230; you can see them peek out from behind the door of the fridge, and the smile is as big as the sky.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I use <a href="https://amzn.to/3c2a730" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow external noreferrer" title="containers like these" data-wpel-link="external">containers like these</a> for meal prep and leftovers.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="680" height="907" src="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cilantro-lime-Mexican-sauce-createdbydiane.com_-680x907.png" alt="" class="wp-image-40275" srcset="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cilantro-lime-Mexican-sauce-createdbydiane.com_-680x907.png 680w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cilantro-lime-Mexican-sauce-createdbydiane.com_-225x300.png 225w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/cilantro-lime-Mexican-sauce-createdbydiane.com_.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And the sauce I make again and again for them is my <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/cilantro-lime-sauce-on-scallop-tacos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="" data-wpel-link="internal">Cilantro Lime Sauce</a>, it&#8217;s so irresistible. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My fussy eater even says he thinks I should bottle it up and sell it, but we all know when it comes to sauces fresh made is great, and bottled sauces don&#8217;t always live up to the hype once you add items to make the &#8220;fresh&#8221; sauces last longer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> So making it fresh is best! It will keep in the fridge for a week and freezes well too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These<a href="https://amzn.to/3ZwVgFG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow external noreferrer" title="2 oz containers" data-wpel-link="external"> 2 oz containers</a> are great for adding to leftover and <a href="https://amzn.to/3c2a730" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow external noreferrer" title="" data-wpel-link="external">meal prep containers.</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a pinch&#8230; I have used Don Pancha&#8217;s Cilantro Lime Crema from Costco, and it&#8217;s a good substitution, but I like homemade best!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Add some fresh avocado if eating immediately. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I can always go for some delicious Mexican food, tacos, rice and beans, chips and salsa, margaritas, and more. </span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some of my favorite recipes, whether I&#8217;m cooking for my family and to have plenty of leftovers or a gathering to serve many. </span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&#8217;s become my go-to for entertaining without much fuss.</span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To keep things simple, I serve taco bowls when we have company, and everyone can pile on the topping they prefer. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It also makes a great presentation when you line up all the items on an oval plate. They sell oval disposable plates, which are perfect for this, and have room for chips and salsa as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I often have impromptu dinners, and this is one of my go-to meals to serve.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have said it time and again, I love it when we go somewhere and there is a &#8220;taco guy,&#8221; it&#8217;s perfect to replicate for Mexican-themed party food. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My recipes are easy, and the big bonus, you won&#8217;t have to spend all day in the kitchen!</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="680" height="907" src="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/eat-dinner-and-meal-prep-createdbydiane-680x907.jpg" alt="eat dinner, and meal prep createdbydiane" class="wp-image-46167" srcset="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/eat-dinner-and-meal-prep-createdbydiane-680x907.jpg 680w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/eat-dinner-and-meal-prep-createdbydiane-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/eat-dinner-and-meal-prep-createdbydiane.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Spending the time to meal prep this way allows you to have plenty of servings. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eat some and put some in the fridge, and some in the freezer to have delicious meals ready in minutes! Mix up the proteins for more variety.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a <strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/PRINTABLE-mexican-party-15-shopping-list-Sheet1.pdf" data-wpel-link="internal"><span style="color: #ff0000;">printable shopping list</span></a> </strong>so you can easily gather the items you&#8217;ll need for serving a crowd. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The protein options are plentiful, and you can choose to serve tacos or make taco bowls.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I cook big meals almost every week just for my family. I pack the meals up, and everyone eats them all week.</span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> I typically make one or two large portion meals on one day and then a couple of days later do it again. </span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">So there is variety and plenty of meals ready all week long, for lunch or dinner. I’ve been doing this for years. It seems we aren’t all at the dinner table at once.</span></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don&#8217;t miss this <strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2010/07/cilantro-lime-sauce-on-scallop-tacos.html" data-wpel-link="internal">cilantro lime sauce</a>,</strong> it&#8217;s addictive! And not only perfect for tacos, but pasta, rice, and seafood.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">This meal prep works well. This meal is not only great for meal prepping, but it’s great to know the portions to make and have the recipes to make a delicious meal almost effortlessly.</span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> You can invite some friends, neighbors, or family over for everyone to sit around the table and enjoy the time together. </span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We do this multiple times a year, just make a meal and invite friends over and spend some great times together, often it’s impromptu. </span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A couple of hours before dinner time, we’ll see who is around… It’s fun, I love casual get-togethers, they&#8217;re less stressful than planning a dinner party in advance.</span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We sit around and enjoy some chips and salsa with margaritas and beer.</span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m all about the food…. delicious food, it’s what brings us together, we chat and share what’s going on, and live our best lives!</span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sharing food brings people together. We’re meant to spend time with others, and there is no better way to spend time than while enjoying delicious food.</span></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here is a link to my <strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2016/08/taco-seasoning.html" data-wpel-link="internal">taco seasoning mix</a></strong><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2016/08/taco-seasoning.html" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>.</strong></a><strong> </strong>Use</span> that or store-bought dry taco seasoning mix. Great for my <strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2017/05/taco-marinated-chicken.html" data-wpel-link="internal">taco marinated chicken</a>.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All you need next is to gather some drinks, and you&#8217;re all set. Grab some beer and margaritas to make it a real party!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A cold side dish of<strong> <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2021/02/instant-pot-pinto-beans.html" data-wpel-link="internal">black</a><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2021/02/instant-pot-pinto-beans.html" data-wpel-link="internal"> bean salsa</a></strong> is just perfect when you want to make it ahead of time and have it ready when you want to serve it. Great for lunches, leftovers, meal prep, and a great item to bring to the beach.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Let&#8217;s talk proteins:</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">chicken thighs (boneless skinless) </span></li>



<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2020/07/instant-pot-shredded-pork.html" data-wpel-link="internal">pork</a></strong> (butt shoulder )</span></li>



<li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> beef (chuck roast, London broil, tri-tip) <br></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">*For parties and leftovers, add back some cooking juice so it’s not dry if using lean meat. </span></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Would I use chicken breast? Simply put, NO, unless it&#8217;s <strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2017/05/taco-marinated-chicken.html" data-wpel-link="internal">my marinated taco chicken</a> or similar,</strong></span> they are too dry, and they have less flavor than thighs,<span style="font-weight: 400;"> but my marinated will save you on both counts. </span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When cooking for a crowd, I do not go with an &#8220;ultra lean” meat, the chance that the meat will dry out is too great, and that would just ruin the meal</span>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Often, I serve <strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2020/07/instant-pot-shredded-pork.html" data-wpel-link="internal">shredded pork</a></strong> and tender cooked pork, then crisped to perfection. I serve it as tacos, or simply layer the items in a bowl for ease. I use the same recipe for beef as well. </span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To cook the proteins, I typically use an <strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2020/07/instant-pot-shredded-pork.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Instant Pot</a>,</strong> but you could grill, bake, or slow-cook the meat to your liking.&nbsp;</span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And there is always <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2020/03/chili-verde.html" data-wpel-link="internal"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Chili Verde</strong></span></a>, make it with pork or try it with chicken.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to keep it really simple, just make the main item (chicken, beef, pork) and serve it with some chips and <a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2017/01/corn-black-bean-jalapeno-salsa.html" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>Corn Black Bean</strong>, and <strong>Jalapeno Salsa</strong></a></span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to serve hot beans, you can make these <strong><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2021/02/instant-pot-pinto-beans.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Instant Pot Pinto Beans</a> </strong>or use a few cans of black beans and add a tablespoon of taco seasoning for each can, heat, and serve. Canned refried beans work in a pinch or to keep things simple.</span></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2016/08/taco-seasoning.html" data-wpel-link="internal"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br></span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s talk rice!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I love pork fried rice. It’s easy to make and is suitable as a main dish, as well as a side dish. And even though it takes no time to make, you can still do a little bit of prep beforehand to make your cooking time almost nothing! With the balance of life and work, I find having a few of these quick recipes on hand are a lifesaver.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Let’s take a closer look at this amazing dish.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fried rice has its origins in Asia of course, but it has become a much-loved dish all over the world, most of all in the United States. We’ve adopted it as one of our own, and thus, you can find recipes for it all over the internet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> My recipe takes all the best-loved elements of fried rice sesame, red pepper flake, and peas–and then elevates them with some tender pork which has been sauced to add a boost of yum! </span></p>

<p>There are many reasons low-carb eating is popular and manageable for losing weight, keeping weight off, controlling blood sugar, and eating healthy&#8230;without just eating salad! I love a good salad, but can&#8217;t survive on salad alone!</p>

<p>Reducing carb-heavy items like pasta, rice, and bread is really not as hard as it may sound, even for a carb lover like me.</p>
<p>Avoiding items that are sugary and processed are also items to avoid when eating low carb.</p>
<p>If I&#8217;m really craving something sweet, I typically eat some strawberries or blueberries and some dark chocolate.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21072" src="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Low-Carb-Recipes-www.createdbydiane.com_.jpg" alt="easy low carb recipes to enjoy everyday www.createdbydiane.com" width="680" height="680" srcset="https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Low-Carb-Recipes-www.createdbydiane.com_.jpg 680w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Low-Carb-Recipes-www.createdbydiane.com_-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Low-Carb-Recipes-www.createdbydiane.com_-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.createdby-diane.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Low-Carb-Recipes-www.createdbydiane.com_-320x320.jpg 320w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /></p>
<p>Initially, you may miss the high-carb items you&#8217;re used to eating, but really, your body is missing the sugar.</p>
<p>Once you start eating enough &#8220;real food,&#8221; you&#8217;ll be full and satisfied by eating fiber to feel full, healthy fat to burn for energy instead of the fast-burning sugar that leaves you craving more sugar very quickly.</p>
<p>Stocking your fridge with lots of lean protein and vegetables is the best way to begin.</p>

<p>I have gotten lots of questions over the past few months about what exactly I am eating. <em>Do I eat this&#8230; or that?<br />
</em><em>How am I making it work?<br />
Is it hard?<br />
</em><em>What do I eat when I&#8217;m out?<br />
</em>So&#8230; let me answer those three questions to get us started:</p>
<ul>
<li>Do I eat this&#8230; or that?<br />
Q. Do I eat fruit<br />
A. minimal, it&#8217;s nature candy, it has a lot of sugar, so if I&#8217;m at my goal weight I&#8217;ll eat a bit more than when I&#8217;m trying to lose weight.Q. What do I eat for breakfast?<br />
A. I eat an avocado or some cauliflower rice with an egg and maybe a piece of bacon. When I do eat &#8220;Carbs&#8221;? I&#8217;m much more thoughtful about it (than just eating bread as an example). I&#8217;ll eat 1/3 cup oatmeal, knowing it&#8217;s a carb, but that it&#8217;s healthier than a lot of other breakfast items like bagels, cereal, and such. So, on that item, I eat a small amount, typically add a tablespoon of peanut butter, and grab a strawberry or two and enjoy. I don&#8217;t eat it every day, most often once a week.&nbsp;<br />
I will eat a potato, but often make a dish and end up eating maybe half a potato as I cut them up and have them distributed around the entire dish, not just a whole potato on my plate. I did read lots about potatoes, and cold potato salad is one of the items that I do eat because of the resistant starch. Resistant starches are<a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/resistant-starch-101" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"><em> starch molecules that resist digestion, functioning kind of like fiber</em></a>, and I found it works for me.<br />
There is some interesting newer information on <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="https://www.createdby-diane.com/2022/04/resistant-starch.html" data-wpel-link="internal"><strong>resistant starch, </strong></a></span>and most often you have to find what works for YOU. Keep track, that is the way you&#8217;ll know what is working and what is not.</li>
<li>How do I make it work&#8230; is it hard?&nbsp;<br />
I keep track, it&#8217;s the easiest way I&#8217;ve found to control what goes into my mouth (without keeping track, I tend to get off track really fast). Consistency is key, if you do it all the time, it becomes &#8220;normal&#8221; and is easier than if you have to &#8220;start&#8221; from the beginning all the time. The longer I keep track, the better it seems to work.</li>
<li>
<h2>What do I eat when I eat out?</h2>
<p>I find items that work for me, I ask for a burger without the bun, and I order seafood (I love it and find it&#8217;s usually a great option).&nbsp; I try to stay away from fried foods and have found them less appealing, as I could eat a ton of French fries and never get full.</li>
<li>Specifically: If I&#8217;m at a taco shop, I opt for tacos and usually eat only 1/2 of the tortilla. If it&#8217;s a &#8220;restaurant,&#8221; I typically order shrimp or salmon with vegetables. If I&#8217;m at an Italian restaurant, I&#8217;ll order chicken with a vegetable. In my <a href="http://bit.ly/cbdlowcarbebook" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">low carb ebook</a>, I have a list of about a dozen items to order when eating out.</li>
<li>Now, if there is really nothing else to eat but fast food, I&#8217;ll just eat it&#8230; and move on, the next meal I&#8217;ll try to eat more vegetables to balance it out.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

After some time passes, the foods you eat &#8220;too&#8221; much of you won&#8217;t want at all. Moderation is key. Stay on track with eating well, mix it up.</p>
<p>Try new foods, just leave out the high-calorie carbs. Eating carbs isn&#8217;t necessarily &#8220;bad&#8221; pasta, rice, and bread just tend to be high in calorie and if you are watching what you eat and counting calories, those calories will add up fast, they don&#8217;t leave you satisfied long term and keep you searching for more food quicker than if you are eating foods that are more satisfying like high fiber foods that help you feel full longer.</p>
<p>What I do eat that&#8230; helps keep me on track while losing weight and maintaining the weight I like to be at. Avocado, Zucchini, Cabbage,&nbsp; Cauliflower, Cheese, Bacon, lean ground meats, beef, chicken, pork, mushrooms, eggs, lots of colorful vegetables.</p>
<p>The food looks appetizing, we eat with our eyes first! <span class="s1"><a href="https://createdbydiane.myflodesk.com/createdbydiane" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"><b>Join my email list</b></a></span><b> </b>and never miss a bite!

<div role="heading" aria-level="3">Back story:</div>
<div role="heading" aria-level="3"></div>
<div role="heading" aria-level="3">When my husband and I met we would go to a Portuguese Restaurant (Ria Mar in South River, NJ ) and they had such delicious food. We went often and loved it every single time!</div>
<div role="heading" aria-level="3"></div>
<div role="heading" aria-level="3">I set out to replicate the delicious dish pork and clams and I&#8217;m happy to say my husband says my recipe is even better. Which is the ultimate compliment! (and he&#8217;s is not hte type to say it&#8217;s better if it isn&#8217;t which I totally love about him)</div>

<div role="heading" aria-level="3"></div>
<div role="heading" aria-level="3">I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve ordered this dish when we would go there, I lost count. And I do think it&#8217;s the ONLY dish I ever did order there&#8230; it&#8217;s that good. He would always get something new, not me.</div>
<div role="heading" aria-level="3">I was hooked on the delicious flavor of their pork and clams. You know the kind of meal that is so good you revert to ordering it again and again and never regret it.</div>
<div role="heading" aria-level="3">Oh yes, that is this dish.</div>
<div role="heading" aria-level="3"></div>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I just love shredded pork tacos,&nbsp;</p>
<p>but truth be told I use shredded pork in many dishes. It&#8217;s flavorful and easy to make.</p>
<p>I crisp the pork when it comes out of the instant pot (pressure cooker) and oh those little crispy pieces are amazing. Great for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and can be used in bbq pork sandwiches without slaving over the bbq for hours on end.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s no secret I love my instant pot, I&#8217;ve been using a pressure cooker long before they came out with the new electric versions and I have always loved how tender meat comes out and the time it saves.</p>
