Cafe Rio Sweet Pork!

I was browsing the web the other day, and I stumbled upon this recipe.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I HAD to try it out.  I made it for FHE last night and it was a huge hit!  You must make this.  It will change your life. 


2 pounds pork (we use boneless pork rib meat)
3 cans Coke (NOT diet)
1/4 c. brown sugar
dash garlic salt
1/4 c. water
1 can sliced green chilies
12-16 oz can enchilada sauce
1 c. brown sugar

Put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinade. Add about a can and a half of coke and about 1/4 c. of brown sugar. Marinade for a few hours or overnight.

Drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can of coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours (or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get TOO dry) or on low for 8 hours. Remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.

In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste..). If it looks too thick, add more Coke little by little.

Put shredded pork and sauce in crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours. That's it!


**I doubled this recipe and it was plenty of food for six adults.  I also forgot to double the green chiles and the enchilada sauce (I don't know WHERE my mind is lately) and it still turned out delicious.  So I don't think there's a way to mess this one up! I also made some re-fried beans and mexican rice to go along with it.  It was really good all rolled up in one burrito!**
