Cafe Rio Pork

So all of you who know what Cafe Rio is you will love the fallowing recipes....I first will do the pork then the rice then to fallow the dressing! I hope you enjoy. (if you are not a pork fan you can use chicken)

Pork

Pork(one to two medium pork roasts best place to buy is Costco)

place in crock pot

In a bowl mix-

2 cups Pic ante Sauce (mild)

1 cup Brown Sugar

1 can Coke

Cook for 6 hours on high heat.

Then take out pork and shred with fork
At this point I take and dump the sauce that pork was cooking in all day and make a fresh new batch.(you don't have to do this)
Place pork back into crock pot and pour sauce back over pork and continue to cook for 2 hours
I like to buy the fresh tortillas at Costco that you can cook I sprinkle a little cheese on tortillas then serve with rice and beans.
Just so you know this freezes very well so if it makes to much for those of you with small families just place it in a freezer air tight bag and save it for a later date.
Rice
1 1/2 cups Rice
1 c. Chicken Broth
1/2 cup Lemon Juice
2 squirts Lime Juice
Place all liquids into a glass measuring cup and finish with water tell you make 3 cups total.
Place liquid and rice into sauce pan and bring to a boil making sure to
stir once or twice. Once at a boil turn to low to simmer and cover let simmer for 14 min so not lift lid!
Let stand for 5 min then ready to serve.


Dressing
1 cup Mayo
1/2 cups Butter Milk
1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing(dry)
2 Cloves Garlic
1 Cups cilantro
3 Timoteo's (green tomato's)
