Pickled red onions on fajitas

Pickled Red Onions

I use half an onion for this recipe, since I often make it at the same time that I prep pineapple salsa. If you want, just double the recipe to use the whole onion.

My favorite use for pickled red onions are on tacos and fajitas, but these are really good in salads as well!
