Cafe Rio Pork Salad/Burritos

This is by far the best recipe I have found for these burritos so far.

CAFÉ RIO PORK SALAD
(Kaori Anderson)

4 lbs of pork roast
3 cans tomato sauce (8 oz each)
3 tsp pressed garlic
3 c brown sugar
4 tsp cumin
1 1/2 c Dr. Pepper
4 Tbsp Molasses
1/2 tsp salt
5-6 drops tobasco sauce
1 Sarrano chile

Combine all ingredients in a crock pot, cover and cook 10 hours on low. When pork falls apart or shreds easily remove from juice. Simmer the juices until it reduces to 1/3-1/2. Put the pork back in the crock pot with a little juice (so it doesn’t dry out while waiting for the juice to simmer) and shred. Then add the juice back in for flavor.


CAFE RIO RICE-

3 cups water
4 t chicken bouillon
4 t garlic – minced
½ bunch cilantro
1/2 can green chiles
¾ t salt
1 T butter
½ onion
1 ½ cups rice (not minute rice)

Blend cilantro, green chiles, and onion together in food processor or blender. Bring water to a boil and add all the ingredients including the blended ingredients. Simmer covered on low for 25-30 minutes. Watch carefully as this can burn easily.


CAFE RIO DRESSING-

1 buttermilk ranch dressing packet (made as per recipe with 2 c.
buttermilk and 2 c. mayonnaise)
2 tomatillos (tomato like vegetable with a husk around them)
½ bunch of cilantro
1 clove garlic
Juice of 1 lime
1 jalepeno (use the seeds too if you like it spicy)

Use a food processor or blender to blend all the ingredients.

BLACK BEANS
2 cans black beans
3-5 chopped green onions
Garlic salt to taste (not too much it won’t taste good)

Bring to boil and then simmer on low.
