Recipe: Sweet & Spicy Pulled Pork Tacos with Grilled Pineapple Salsa

Last weekend, Jai and I tried Tony Roma’s Sweet & Spicy Pulled Pork for the first time. It was ready in just a few minutes in the microwave, and was great served over rice with a cold beer as we watched UFC Fight Night – an appropriate snack for sports, right? It really brought the heat, so I know it would be great with tacos. I love pineapple salsa so I’ll have to try this sometime:
