Copy-Cat Cafe Rio Pork Barbacoa

My favorite thing at Cafe Rio is a Pork Barbacoa Burrito.. Hot please :) I made it last night, we decided to do Tacos. It was a little too sweet so I am modifying the recipe for next time. I think since I get it in a burrito and they use their hot enchilada sauce over the burrito it cuts out some of the sweet. So, next time I will use more enchilada sauce, less brown sugar and possibly make burritos and do them "enchilada -style"

Here is the recipe ( I lessened the brown sugar, added more enchilada sauce)


CAFE RIO SWEET PORKrecipe from: “One Good Thing” By Jilliee
2 pounds pork roast2 cans Coke (NOT diet)
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 c. water
1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce (I would maybe add part of a small hot can as well next time)
1/2 c. brown sugar

Put the pork in a reclosable bag to marinate, pour in one of the cans of Coke and 1/2 c. brown sugar. Marinade for a few hours or overnight. (I’ve done both…they both work.)Drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can of Coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours. Remove pork from crock pot, drain off liquid, shred pork.Mix together (in a bowl or in the blender) other 1/2 can of Coke, can of chiles, enchilada sauce and brown sugar.Put shredded pork back in the crock pot, cover with sauce, heat just until warmed through.
