- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 pound boneless pork chops, thinly sliced into strips

Notes
- Combine the chili powders, cumin, brown sugar, salt and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced pork and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours before cooking.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil looks wavy, add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, to brown on all sides, 5 minutes. Add dried apples, cook one more minute.Remove pork from skillet and keep warm.
- Add apple juice and vinegar to the skillet, stirring and scraping the bottom to release any bits stuck there. Continue to cook until liquid starts to thicken and reduce, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce. Add cooked pork back to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Portion pork among warmed tortillas and top with apple, radishes, cilantro, onion, cheese and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
