Cafe Rio Pork Burritos

SWEET PORK

2 pounds pork
1 can Coke (NOT diet)
dash garlic salt
1/4 c. water
1 can sliced green chilies
3/4 can enchilada sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar (1 cup if you want it to be sweeter)

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). 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 brown sugar. Put shredded pork and sauce in crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours. That's it!



CILANTRO-LIME RICE

1 c. uncooked rice
1 tsp. butter or margarine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 can (15 oz) chicken broth
1 cup water
1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tsp. sugar
3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro

In a saucepan combine rice, butter, garlic, 1 tsp. lime, chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook on low 15-20 minutes, until rice is tender. Remove from heat. In a small bowl combine lime juice, sugar and cilantro. Pour over hot cooked rice and mix in as you fluff the rice.

  1. Wow. That about covers it. Wow. Yep. That'll do it for me. Oh, and after we've used up all the tortillas (love the raw/refrigerated ones, BTW) I put it in a salad. I've been eating the leftovers around 10 p.m. when the craving has started. =)Consider this a must for the pork assignment!
