I love the original Cafe Rio pork recipe I posted on this blog. However, I usually reduce the brown sugar because it's just too sweet. My husband isn't a huge fan of it, but he will tolerate it from time to time when I make it. On Sunday, we were invited to dinner at a friend's house, and she made her version. I'm posting it here because I really liked it, and more than that, CHARLES really liked it! So here's her recipe.
4 lbs boneless pork roast
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1-1/2 cups salsa
1 can cola
Cook in crock pot for 8 hours on low. Remove meat and shread. Cook for 1 more hour on low.
Cilantro Ranch Dressing
1 package ranch dressing mix
3 Tablespoons salsa verde
1/2 tsp tobasco
1/2 bunch of cilantro
2-3 cloves garlic
3/4 cup mayo
3/4 cup sour cream
Grated lime peel and juice of lime
She served tortilla chips as her base layer. For toppings she included lettuce and then made a combined mixture of black beans, tomatoes, and corn. I liked the mixture. It was kind of like a Southwestern Salad, which I love. She didn't serve it with cheese or with rice, which was a nice change, I thought! Enjoy!
