    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

    Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels. Rub the pork with olive oil, then season it evenly with chile powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

    3

    Place the seasoned pork loin on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin, crispy pieces.

    5

    While the pork is resting, warm the taco shells according to package instructions.

    6

    To prepare the toppings, crumble the queso fresco and chop the cilantro. Slice the avocado and lime into wedges.

    7

    Assemble the tacos by placing a layer of the sliced crispy pork in each taco shell. Top with crumbled queso fresco, cilantro, and avocado slices.

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
