These pork fajitas with Hawaiian slaw and coconut cilantro-lime rice is a perfect meal for busy weeknights. You definitely will want to try these soon!

Even though we had a little bit of snow last night, we have actually had a fairly mild winter and a nice start to Spring here in Colorado. When the sun comes out, all of our fun activities start and that means sometimes I don’t have as much time in the afternoons to make a big dinner. On days when there isn’t much time, I love to reach for my list of quick and easy meals to make something delicious for my family.

Just because something is quick though, doesn’t mean that it has to lack flavor! I always try to make sure that the recipes I make have lots of flavor and combines a variety of fresh ingredients. This recipe for pork fajitas with Hawaiian slaw and coconut cilantro lime dressing is no exception and you can make it in thirty minutes or less!

It can be hard to get a lot of flavor into pork in a short amount of time without marinating it, which is why I love the new Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork products that you can find at Walmart. The variety that I chose for this recipe is the Smithfield Marinated Boneless Pork Shoulder Seasoned Carnitas. I love this because it is 100% pork and the flavors are so amazing.
