Barbecued pork pita sandwiches with lettuce, onion, and bell peppers

These barbecued pork sandwiches combine juicy roasted pork tenderloin with a bold horseradish spread and crunchy vegetables. Pita bread keeps the generous filling together and makes the sandwiches easy to serve.

Letting the tenderloin rest before slicing helps retain its juices. Cut it across the grain for tender pieces in every bite.

Ingredients

2 pork tenderloins (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1/3 cup prepared barbecue sauce
1/2 cup prepared horseradish
4 pita bread rounds, cut into halves
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 leaves romaine lettuce
1 red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the pork tenderloins in a roasting pan and brush them evenly with the barbecue sauce.
Roast for 15 minutes. Turn the tenderloins and continue roasting for about 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F.
Remove the pork from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork across the grain. Spread horseradish inside the pita halves, then fill each one with sliced pork, onion, romaine lettuce, and red and green bell peppers.
