Cafe Rio Tacos

recipe from the cookbook of Erika Olayan

Cafe Rio Pork

Ingredients:

• 3-5 lbs pork loin or roast
• 1 1/2 cans Coke Classic (I use Caffine free diet coke & it tastes the same to me)
• 1C Sugar
• 7oz. can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce-or plain for a sweeter sauce (my SIL Janel uses enchilada sauce as an alternative & I like it because it's not spicy)
• 1 tsp dry ground mustard heaping
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp minced garlic

Directions:

Remove the chilies (throw away) from adobo sauce. Add all ingredients except pork in a blender. Rinse can of adobo sauce with coke to get all of the sauce out. Blend in blender until well mixed--place pork in crock pot and pour sauce over it. Cook for 4-6 hours on high or 7-9 on low. Turn roast over halfway through. Cook until tender and can be shredded, shred and put back in sauce.Eat with white corn tortillas!
