Ingredients

Tortilla wraps (4 large)
Sriracha sauce (2 tablespoons)
Mayonnaise (4 tablespoons)
Fresh basil (1/4 cup, chopped)
Fresh mint (1/4 cup, chopped)
Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
Lettuce leaves (4 large)
Pork tenderloin (1 pound)
Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
Fish sauce (1 tablespoon)
Brown sugar (1 tablespoon)
Rice vinegar (1/2 cup)
Daikon radish (1 cup, julienned)
Carrots (1 cup, julienned)
Sugar (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. This will be your marinade for the pork.
Add the pork tenderloin to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
In another bowl, combine the julienned carrots, julienned daikon radish, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix well and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to pickle, achieving the tangy crunch characteristic of Banh Mi.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork tenderloin and grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and juices run clear. Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
While the pork rests, prepare the wraps. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce on each tortilla wrap for a creamy and spicy kick.
Place a lettuce leaf on each wrap, followed by a generous amount of the pickled vegetable mixture.
Top with sliced pork tenderloin, and finish with freshly chopped cilantro, mint, and basil for an aromatic touch.
Roll up the tortilla wraps tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to prevent filling from spilling out.
Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil for a portable meal.
