Cafe Rio Sweet Pork Copycat Recipe

AuthoradminCategory
Yields1 Serving
 2 lbs pork (we use boneless pork ribs)
 36 oz Coke (3 soda cans), NOT diet
 ¼ cup brown sugar
 garlic salt
 ¼ cup water
 1 can diced green chilies (4 oz, per site)
 10 oz red enchilada sauce (Old El Paso brand is gluten free; medium spiciness recommended but any will work)
 1 cup brown sugar
1

Put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinate. Add about a can and a half of Coke and about 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Marinate for a few hours or overnight.

2

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.

3

Remove pork from crock pot and discard any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.

4

In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (about a cup, 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.

5

Serve on your favorite burrito or salad.
