Pickled Red Onions

I'm using left-overs for dinner.  We had pulled pork in the freezer from Dave's birthday party and wanted to change it up a little.  I threw the pork in a saute pan, added some taco seasoning, and let the pork crisp up and caramelize a little.  Then I stuffed the pork into warmed corn tortillas, added some salsa verde and these pickled red onions.  Dinner was a hit.

I don't do very good with left-overs.  I usually leave them in the fridge for Dave to eat for lunch or for our son to eat when he stops by (as he is opening the fridge he asks, "Toni, what is the oldest thing I should eat first?")  I was pretty pleased with this.  It didn't seem like left-overs to Dave and we didn't eat pulled pork "again", which is a good thing since I have two more containers of pulled pork in the freezer...any other suggestions?
