Cafe Rio Sweet Pork
>> Monday, February 23, 2009
About a year and a half ago, we took the kids to Utah to visit some family. While I was there, I met up with my good friend Kim. She took me to Cafe Rio for lunch. I'd never been there before, but I fell in love with their pork and was determined to figure out how to recreate it at home. I think this is pretty darn close!
Ingredients:
2 pound sirloin pork roast
1 can Dr. Pepper
2 cups enchilada sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 can diced green chilies
1 tablespoon garlic salt
Pour Dr. Pepper, brown sugar, enchilada sauce and chilies into your crock pot and stir to combine. Add the roast and sprinkle it with garlic salt. Cook on low for 4 hours, then remove meat and shred. Return to crock pot, stir well to cover meat with sauce and cook for another 2 hours.
Other parts of this recipe:
Cilantro Lime Rice
Black Beans
Cilantro Lime Ranch

MMMMMM!!!!! I love Cafe Rio and am trying this recipe tomorrow for dinner. Well I better head to the grocery store, thanks Hillary.
Holy Moly, that sounds SOOO good!!!!
Do you just put the shredded pork onto rolls? I've never had cafe rio pork, although I've heard many good things!
Rubyjade-- Stay tuned for the rest of the week, and you'll see it all put together! :)
Pink, I made this last week & it was SOOOOOOOO yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
have you ever tried this with a different meat? sadly, my husband doesn't like pork.
Autumn-- I've never made it with anything else, but I'm sure chicken would taste great, too!
thank you!
ok, i've ridden out the craving for as long as i can and NEED to make this. about how many does it serve?
Autumn-- If you're going to use chicken, I'd use 4 breasts, which would serve about 4 people. When I use a 2 pound pork roast, I can easily feed 6-8 people.
last comment, i promise!
i used chicken and green enchilada sauce. it didn't smell great in the crockpot which was a bit scary but it all came together. everyone loved it and thought it was delicious!
Technology really has become one with our daily lives, and I am 99% certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further advances, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.
