I took advantage of Cinco De Mayo and made Cafe Rio for dinner
Cafe Rio Salad
I've used this recipe for several years. I found it at a great website
called Favorite Family Recipes
I love the sweet pork
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork (we use boneless pork rib meat)
- 3 cans Coke (NOT diet)
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- dash garlic salt
- 1/4 c. water
- 1 can diced green chilies
- 3/4 (10oz) can red enchilada sauce (I use Old El Paso brand, medium spiciness but any will work)
- 1 c. brown sugar
Instructions
- Put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinade. Add about a can and a half of coke and about 1/4 c. of brown sugar. Marinade for a few hours or overnight.
- Drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can 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 any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.
- In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 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 and cook on low for 2 hours. That's it!
Serve with tortillas, black beans, cilantro rice (just rice with a little lime squeezed in, cilantro and TBSP sugar), lettuce, pico salsa, creamy guacamole, crunchy tortilla strips and the awesome creamy cilantro lime dressing:
Ingredients
- 1 packet TRADITIONAL Hidden Valley Ranch mix (not BUTTERMILK)
- 1 c. mayonnaise
- 1 c. buttermilk
- 2 tomatillos, remove husk, diced
- 1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro
- 1 clove garlic
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 jalapeno (we like it SPICY so we kept the seeds in it, if you like it mild, just remove the seeds)
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in the blender.
