• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges.
• Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, core and dice bell pepper into ½-inch pieces. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Drain and rinse beans. Quarter lime. • In a large bowl, toss together bell pepper, tomato, scallions, beans, juice from three lime wedges, 1 TBSP olive oil, ½ tsp Fajita Spice Blend (you'll use more later), 1 tsp salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, use juice from six lime wedges, 2 TBSP olive oil, 1 tsp Fajita Spice Blend, and 2 tsp salt) until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with 2 tsp Fajita Spice Blend (4 tsp for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat.
• Add 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP butter for 4) to pan with pork; baste pork with melted butter until thoroughly coated. Transfer pork to a cutting board to rest at least 3 minutes. TIP: You can start plating the potatoes and salad while the pork rests.
• Slice pork crosswise. Divide pork, potato wedges, and salad between plates in separate sections. Drizzle any remaining butter from pan over pork. Serve.
