Cafe Rio Pork

I give you two versions of this recipe that I found. I made a quick combination of the two recipes last night and it was WONDERFUL!
Happy eating!

Cafe Rio Pork [1]

2 pounds pork roast

3 cans or 32 oz of Coke [Do not use diet]

1/2 c. brown sugar

dash garlic salt

1/4 c. water

1 can sliced green chilies

3/4 can red enchilada sauce

1 c. brown sugar

Put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinade. Add about a can (32oz)of coke and about 1/4 c. of brown sugar. Marinade for a few hours or overnight.

Drain marinade and put pork, 1 can (12 oz) of coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours (or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get TOO dry) or on low for 8 hours.

Remove pork from crock pot and drain liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.In a food processor or blender, blend 1 (32 oz) can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste..). If it looks too thick, add more Coke little by little.

Put shredded pork and sauce in crockpot, cook on low 2 hrs.

Cafe Rio Pork [2]

6 lbs pork or beef
1 16 oz bottle of salsa

1 can of Coke

2 cups brown sugar

Place meat in crock pot and fill it half way up to the meat with water. Cook on high for 5 hours.

Drain off water. Cut meat in thirds. Mix together sauce ingredients and put on top of meat.

Cook an additional 3 hours on high. Shred meat with fork.

Crockpot Chicken Burritos

2-3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can red beans, undrained
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1-2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 can San Marcos brand chipotle chilis in adobo sauce
1 tsp. oregano
1-2 tsp. cumin
1 onion, chopped

Put all ingredients in crockpot on low setting, cook 8-10 hours. Pull apart chicken with forks once cooked.

I like to serve these in tortillas, with shredded cheese, fresh guacamole, salsa, and/or refried beans. Just dump beans in bowl, heat in microwave, and sprinkle with cheese.
