My good friend Sharla served this at a surprise birthday lunch she hosted in my behalf. Everyone loved the recipe so of course I had to ask her a copy. And of course I had know idea about the surprise, so there is no picture. Doesn't a soft shell taco all wrapped up look the same anyway? It isn't hard to imagine it is it. YUM!
Cafe Rio Pork or Chicken (Sharla P. family recipe)
4 lbs. Pork Roast or Chicken
2 cups brown sugar
1 (12-14 oz) jar Salsa
2 cans Coke (24 oz or 2 1/2 cups)
FOR PORK:
Place roast in crock pot, fill half way with water and cook for 6-8 hours on low. Disgard water. Shred meat with forks and return to crock pot. Combine sugar, salsa, and coke in a separate bowl. Add to crock pot. Cook about 3 hours more on low. Stir Occasionally
FOR CHICKEN
Simply add chicken to crock pot. Combine sugar, salsa, and coke in a separate bowl; add to crock pot. Cook 5-6 hours on low (or until chicken is done I have several crock pots and they all cook at different rates). Stir occasionally.
Place in a warm tortilla on a plate. Top with Rice, Black beans, pork/chicken, lettuce, and top with plenty of Creamy Tomatillo Cilantro Dressing.
5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thawed
1 small bottle Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
1 Tablespoon Chili powder
1 Tablespoon Cumin
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
Mix all ingredients except the chicken in a bowl. Place chicken on bottom of a greased crock pot.
Pour mixture in a bowl over the top of Chicken. Cook on high 5-7 hours. Shred chicken with a fork and reserve juice to pour over chicken when serving.
