1 cup diced tomatoes
1/3 cup fresh parsley (minced)
1 tsp. fresh mint (chopped)
1/4 tsp. smoked paprika

1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Directions
Preheat grill to 425°F and place a cast iron skillet on the grill to preheat.
Cook the ground pork in the cast iron skillet until light brown.
Add the onion, green pepper, tomatoes, parsley, mint, paprika, cumin, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and seasonings and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the onion and peppers are tender.
