Asian Grilled Pork Tenderloin Lettuce Wraps image

I make this on one night, and "Tacos Al Pastor" on the second night because the two recipes share a lot of ingredients, but taste nothing alike. Tacos Al Pastor also requires overnight marinating, so this dish can be made the day the ingredients are purchase, while Tacos Al Pastor marinates for the second night. This recipe is also super healthy.

I had some trouble finding pork tenderloin, so I used chicken instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork tenderloin. I also like to add some chopped peanuts or cashews for extra crunch.
