Sweet Pork Barbacoa (Yet Another Cafe Rio Copycat) image

It's been such a long time since I enjoyed a meal at Cafe Rio, I honestly can't remember if this even resembles the sweet pork there. However, it is very tasty and great for a crowd.

Time 10h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lbs pork roast
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 -2 garlic clove, pressed
1 1/2-2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons cumin
2 cups Coke
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Spray crock pot with Pam and place pork roast inside. Mix remaining ingredients until sugar has dissolved. Pour over roast and cook on low until pork can be shredded with a fork (8-10 hours). The finished meat/liquid mixture can be frozen for later use.
  • My favorite way to put this meal together is as follows: make a bed of delicious cilantro lime rice (#310516) on a plate. Top with a scoop of black beans and a scoop of sweet pork. Cover with romaine lettuce and drizzle with equal parts Ranch dressing and salsa verde on top.
