Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pork Tenderloin
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 8 oz Ham
  • 4 oz Swiss Cheese
  • 4 oz Dairy-Free Swiss-Style Cheese
  • 0.5 cup Dill Pickles
  • 2 tbsp Yellow Mustard
  • 12 large Lettuce Leaves

Instructions

  1. 1Slice the 1 lb Pork Tenderloin into 1/4-inch thick cutlets.
  2. 2Heat the 1 tbsp Olive Oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). Cook the pork cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
  3. 3While the pork rests, slice the 8 oz Ham into pieces roughly the same size as the pork cutlets.
  4. 4Place the 4 oz Swiss Cheese and 4 oz Dairy-Free Swiss-Style Cheese slices on a plate. You can warm them slightly by placing them in the warm skillet for about 30 seconds, or microwave them for 10-15 seconds, just until they begin to soften.
  5. 5Thinly slice the 0.5 cup Dill Pickles.
  6. 6To assemble the lettuce wraps, lay out the 12 large Lettuce Leaves. On each leaf, layer slices of the cooked pork tenderloin, ham, Swiss cheese, dairy-free Swiss-style cheese, and dill pickles. Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of the 2 tbsp Yellow Mustard over the fillings.
  7. 7Fold or roll the lettuce leaves to enclose the fillings. Serve immediately.
