Cafe Rio Pork/Salad dressing

(I got this recipe from my friend's blog. We have used this for salad and burritos.)
Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs. pork (butt or shoulder)
  • 20 oz. coca cola
  • 1-1 1/2 cups ketchup
  • 1 clove garlic

Cook in crockpot until the meat is cooked through. Shred the pork and Then add:

  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups tomatillo sauce (or blend 4 tomatillos)
  • 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • juice of 2 limes
  • chili powder
  • More ketchup to thicken

Mix together and then add the sauce to the pork and simmer on low for an hour.

Burritos:

Top a burrito shell with pork, black beans, green enchilada sauce, cheese, and spanish rice. Roll up and place on a cookie sheet. Top with cheese and more enchilada sauce. Cook until the cheese is melted.

Creamy Tomatillo Dressing:

Ingredients:

  • 1 ranch packet (will use a little less mayo and milk than calls for)
  • 2 tomatillos
  • 1/4 bunch of cilantro
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic
  • juice of 2 limes
  • few drops of tobasco sauce
  • ground red pepper to taste
  • salt and pepper

Make ranch dressing as per recipe on back. Using a food processor or blender, blend the remaining ingredients and stir into ranch. Refriderate until served.

(To make the salad, take a burrito shell, place pork on the bottom, lettuce, rice, beans, cheese, and dressing, and whatever other veggies you like on your salad.)

You are such a great cook, and always have the best recipes. I'm so glad you have this blog. I was making my grocery list, couldn't come up with any meals, so I'm getting my meals from here. Michael is going to be loving dinner this week!
