I got this recipe from one of my friend's recipe blogs and we tried it last night and LOVED it! It was delicious! If you have ever eaten at Cafe Rio...it is similar to their Pork Barbecoa. Yum!!
Pork loin--place in crock pot and cover with water-cook on high 5 hours
drain water off and add sauce
Sauce:
1 large Pace's Salsa
1 1/2 decaffe cans coke (I used 1 1/2 cup 100% apple juice to make it a little healthier)
3 1/2 C. Brown sugar ( I used less- about 11/2 -2 cups and it was plenty sweet)
cook another 3 hours
Remove pork and shred returning to sauce
RICE:
3 C. water
4 tsp chicken bouillon
4 tsp minced garlic
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 can green chilis
1/2 onion chopped
1 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1 TB butter
2 C. rice
Start a boil and then simmer 20-30 min.
DRESSING:
1 buttermilk ranch dressing pk
(mix it up with what it calls for)
2 tomatillas or 1/3 jar of La Victoria green salsa that has the first ingredient as tomatillas
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 clove garlic
1 lime squeezed
a little jalapeno if you want (I didn't use because the salsa was spicy enough)
Blend in blender
Homemade Tortillas:
3 cups flour ( I use 1 1/2 cups wheat and 1 1/2 cups white)
1/2 Tbsp salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup oil
11/4 cup very hot water
Mix dry ingredients first, then add water and oil. Mix with a spoon as much as you can and knead rest. Divide dough into 10 balls. Set dough on flowered surface and cover with towel let stand 5 minutes then roll each ball as thin as you can with a rolling pin. Place on a greased or non-stick skillet or 350 degrees on an electric skillet. Flip 3 times- takes 2-3 minutes.
Serving:
Top a tortilla with pork, rice, black beans, dressing , chopped lettuce, cheese and fryed tortilla strips!
This recipe is worth trying--it is incredibly good!!!
