3 pound pork shoulder trimmed of fat and sliced into strips, or boneless skinless chicken thighs

Cut pork into strips (like you would for fajitas or stir fry). Trim off excess fat.
Heat oil in large skillet. Add pork, onions and garlic and cook over medium high heat for 6 to 7 minutes , turning so pork is cooked evenly. Add jalapenos, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
