SWEET PORK BARBACOA (YET ANOTHER CAFE RIO COPYCAT)



Sweet Pork Barbacoa (Yet Another Cafe Rio Copycat) image

It's been such a long time since I enjoyed a meal at Cafe Rio, I honestly can't remember if this even resembles the sweet pork there. However, it is very tasty and great for a crowd.

Categories     Pork

Time 10h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lbs pork roast
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 -2 garlic clove, pressed
1 1/2-2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons cumin
2 cups Coke
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Spray crock pot with Pam and place pork roast inside. Mix remaining ingredients until sugar has dissolved. Pour over roast and cook on low until pork can be shredded with a fork (8-10 hours). The finished meat/liquid mixture can be frozen for later use.
  • My favorite way to put this meal together is as follows: make a bed of delicious cilantro lime rice (#310516) on a plate. Top with a scoop of black beans and a scoop of sweet pork. Cover with romaine lettuce and drizzle with equal parts Ranch dressing and salsa verde on top.

CAFE RIO CREAMY TOMATILLO DRESSING (CLOSE COPYCAT)



Cafe Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing (Close Copycat) image

I have tried a few Copycat Creamy Tomatillo Recipes, and this is by far the best and closest to the original. It make a FABULOUS wrap for a quick healthy meal (tortilla, precooked and seasoned meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, dressing, and maybe cheese and sour cream if you like). Absolutely delicious and a quick meal in a pinch as long as you have some pre-cooked and seasoned meat on hand! Try the meat in this fajita recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/steak-or-chicken-fajitas-63786.

SWEET PORK BARBACOA



Sweet Pork Barbacoa image

Slow-cooked pork tenderloin in a very sweet, spicy, smokey, Mexican-inspired sauce. Super easy. Cooks in a crock pot. Great in tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and salads!

Provided by Jillster

Categories     Pork

Time 8h10m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 2/3-5 lbs pork tenderloin (buy the leanest looking one you can)
20 ounces Pepsi (not diet)
1 cup brown sugar
7 ounces chipotle chiles in adobo (will only be using the sauce, which provides the spicy and the smokey flavors)
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce (I use Old El Paso)
2 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon cumin

Steps:

  • Dump peppers into a mesh sieve or strainer, and then holding the sieve over your crock pot, pour the Pepsi through them to get all that delicious sauce into the pot. Discard peppers.(I know it seems like a waste, but adding the peppers will make it too spicy. This small amount of sauce is perfect for the recipe.).
  • Add remaining ingredients and then stir until combined.
  • Trim as much visible fat from the pork as you can.
  • Add the meat to the crock pot.
  • Cook on high for 5 hours.
  • Shred the pork with two forks and then lower the temperature to low, and cook an additional 3 - 4 hours, until the meat is a nice mahogany color.
