Sweet Pork Sweet Pork1 pork roast (2-3lbs)salt & pepper1 garlic clove (minced)waterenchilada sauce (to taste)brown sugar (to taste)2 cans Dr. Pepper1 small can green chiliesSalt and pepper roast to taste, put roast and garlic in a crockpot, add water (fill a small crockpot about half full) and cook on low for about 5 hours. Remove roast, drain water (and remove any fat or drippings), and return roast to crock pot. Add 1 can of Dr. Pepper and 1/2 c. of brown sugar (to start off with). Let roast cook on low 3 more hours (at this point you can pull your pork apart, break it into 3 or 4 chunks but don't shred or pull it completely). Transfer roast (including any liquid) to a large skillet and pull apart. At this point it all becomes your tastes. Add green chilies, enchilada sauce, more brown sugar and Dr. Pepper (obviously the more b. sugar and Dr. Pepper you add the sweeter it is and by adding more enchilada sauce it becomes less sweet).Rice4 t chicken bouillon4 t garlic –minced½ bunch cilantro1 can green chiles—or equivalent fresh¾ t salt1 T butter½ onionChop cilantro and onions (very fine). Add all ingredients with your rice and make your rice according to your rice package (make 3-4 servings).Café Rio (Yummy) Tomatillo Dressing1 buttermilk ranch dressing packet (make as per recipe, reduce buttermilk and mayo by 3/4 c if you want a thicker dressing)2 tomatillos (I like to use 3 for a little more tomatillo flavor)½ bunch of cilantro1 clove garlicJuice of 1 lime1 jalapeño (remove seeds if you don't want it spicy)Put all ingredients in food processor or blender and then refrigerate for at least 30 min so dressing can thicken.Extra Things NeededBlack beans, Tortillas, Guacamole, Pico de gallo, Cheese, and Romaine lettuceOkay those are the main ingredients. I bought some tins from the store (so it would really feel like Café Rio), and wrap style tortillas (I used sun dried tomato wrap tortillas because they are really thin like Café Rio's tortillas). Sprinkle a little cheese on the tortillas and then warm in the oven (just until cheese is beginning to melt), remove and place in tin, add rice some black beans, and pork. Top with lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, slice of lime, and tortilla strips ( couldn't find any so I made my own). Put as much or as little of the tomatillo dressing as you like and ENJOY!!!!
