Cafe Rio Pork

Cafe Rio Pork
5-6 lbs. pork
1 16 oz. bottle of salsa
1 can of Coke
2 cups brown sugar
1\2 bottle of La Victoria Red Sauce
Cilantro, optional. (I forgot to add it to yours!)

Directions:
Place pork in crock pot. Cool on low for about 6 hours. (Should be tender enough to shred with a fork) Pour off liquid. Shred pork. Mix other ingredients together and stir into the shredded pork. Cook an additional 1-3 hours on low. (I cooked ours for a total of 10 hours)

You can serve this on a tortilla as a burrito or taco. Or you could put this together like a salad at Cafe Rio. You could also just serve with rice.
Here are some other "CAFE RIO INSPIRED" recipes I came across that you could try.

LIME-CILANTRO RICE
2 c. long grain rice
1 bunch cilantro
juice of 2 limes
4 cloves of garlic

Directions:
Chop garlic and cilantro. Heat 2 T. oil in skillet. Add rice and all chopped ingredients. Saute 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Put 4 cups of water and lime juice in a rice cooker. Add rice mixture to rice cooker and cook according to cookers directions.

CREAMY TOMATILLA RANCH
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Buttermilk dressing
1 c. buttermilk
1 c. mayonnaise
3 tomatillas, chopped. (they apparently look like green tomatoes with husks...?)
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 c. fresh cilantro
1\2 tsp. cayenne pepper, optional

Blend all ingredients together in a blender. Refrigerate. Will last for 2 weeks in refrigerator.
