Meals Under $10 - Pork Tacos!

PORK TACOS! 
Makes 12 tacos  - $7.90 (taking into account an extra dollar for spices)

SAUTE IN A PAN -
2 lbs. chopped Pork Shoulder $4
1 yellow onion, chopped $.50
1/4 tsp. salt

ONCE PORK IS FULLY COOKED - DRAIN WATER AND ADD
1 tsp. olive oil and brown the pork a bit. $.25

AT THIS POINT - I LIKE TO ADD 1/2 CAN OF CHOPPED PINEAPPLE $.50
