Ingredients

• 5 ounce ground pork (90% lean)
• 0.5 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup yellow onion (diced)
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the ground pork, ground cumin, garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, breaking up the pork with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
