Cafe Rio Pork

This does not taste just like Cafe Rio's pork, but it's just as good! Courtesy: Ashlee

1 1/2 cans Coca-cola classic- do not use substitutes
1 cup sugar
1 (7 oz.) can Chipotle Chilles in ADOBO sauce
1 heaping tsp dry ground mustard
1 heaping tsp cumin
1 tsp minced garlic
1 3-5 pound pork loin roast

Remove the chillies from the can of adobo sauce. (If you like super-spicy foods, leave one or two chilies in. If you want to clean the system, go ahead and use them all...)Add all ingredients (except pork, or course) in a blender. Rinse the can of adobo sauce with coca-cola to get all the sauce out. Blend until well mixed. Place pork in crock pot and pour sauce over it. Cook on low for 7-9 hours or until the pork pulls apart with a fork.
Serve in tortillas with grated cheese, sour cream, lettuce, salsa, etc.
Note: if you don't make your own tortillas, the ones from Costco that you cook yourself are great!

Okay, I was excited to read that Emily has a cousin who started a blog, then I came and was double excited to find a fellow foodie. I love that you're jumping in with recipes...Yum. I will definitely be trying this one.

All your recipes sound great. I'm always looking for a new idea for dinner. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Amberly...since it looks like you have a lot of people interested in recipes I thought I'd share this blog with you --- it is all about recipes & cooking, etc. She is all about eating natural & healthy so her recipes typically reflect that. Also, her husband is in law school, so she tries to keep everything on a budget.
