  • 1 ½–2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese​
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced​
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced​
  • 1 small onion, sliced​
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil​
  • 1 tbsp seasoning blend​
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning ​
  • 1 tsp garlic powder​
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika​

Directions

  1. Slice pork loin lengthwise and open it up. Pound to about ½ inch thick for even rolling. Drizzle pork loin with oil then season both sides with seasoning blend, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder and smoked paprika.​

  2. Heat a skillet over medium with a little oil. Sauté peppers + onions until slightly softened. Lightly season and set aside.​

  3. Lay pork loin flat then add pepper/onion mixture evenly and top with shredded pepper jack. Roll tightly into a log then tie with butcher’s twine (every 1–2 inches)​

  4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high with a little oil. Place pork seam-side down first. Sear all sides, rotating every 1–2 minutes until browned​.

  5. Transfer skillet to oven. Roast for 30–40 minutes or until internal temp hits 145–160°F. Baste once or twice with pan juices while cooking​.

  6. Remove from oven and rest 10 minutes. Cut off twine and slice into medallions​.
