Salsa, as desired

In large nonstick skillet, saute onion in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.

Stir in garlic and jalapeno; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes, until garlic is soft but not brown.

Add cooked pork; toss lightly. Heat through thoroughly.

In each tortilla, roll up 1/4 cup pork, some lettuce, tomatoes, 1 tablespoons cheese and top with salsa, if desired.
