"Cafe Rio" Style Pork Burritos

One of our favorite restaurants is Cafe Rio.  They have the best pork burritos!  In an effort to save money, we have not eaten there in a while, but we have been missing it!  I had a pork roast in my freezer and decided that I wanted to try to recreate the pork burritos that you can buy there.  I looked online to see if I could find a recipe, and I found several.  This recipe is what I did with it, which was kind of a combination of several different recipes.  It didn't taste exactly like Cafe Rio, but it was REALLY good!

"Cafe Rio" Style Pork Burritos

Pork Roast
Coke
2-3 TBSP Brown Sugar
1/2 packet of Lipton Onion Soup

Put the roast into the crockpot and set it on low.  Pour a cup of coke over it and add the brown sugar and soup.  Cook for 8 or so hours, or until it can be shredded.

When the roast is cooked, shred it.  (I dumped the coke mixture out of my crockpot and put the shredded pork back in.  You could easily put it into a sauce pan to finish.)

Add the following:
1 cup or so of Coke
2 TBSP Brown Sugar
1/3 cup Salsa
1/2 can Tomato Sauce

Let it simmer on low for 20 or so minutes.


Rice:

In the meantime, I put my rice cooker to use.  I cooked the rice in chicken broth and added some chopped Cilantro.  Next time I am going to add some green chilies and lime, as the rice was pretty bland.


We like our burritos without the beans, but you could easily add in black or pinto beans!  :)

To assemble:

Warm tortillas.  Fill with rice, pork mixture and cheese.  Roll up and place in an oven-safe pan. Put some green Enchilada Sauce on top.  Top with cheese and broil on high until cheese is melted and bubbling.

 Here is the final product, and it was tasty! My husband told me that it was even better the second day!!
