Cafe Rio Mexican Grill - Sweet Pork Barbacoa

Zee IP Recipes

• 2 pounds pork (we use boneless pork ribs)

• 36 ounces Coke (3 soda cans) NOT diet

• ¼ cup brown sugar

• dash garlic salt

• ¼ cup water

• 1 can diced green chilies

• 10 ounces red enchilada sauce (Old El Paso brand is gluten free, I like medium spiciness but any will work)

• 1 cup brown sugar

Put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinate. Add about a can and a half of coke and about ¼ cup of brown sugar. Marinate for a few hours or overnight

Drain marinade and put pork, ½ can of coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3 to 4 hours (or until it shreds easily, but don’t let it get TOO dry) or on low for 8 hours.

In a food processor or blender, blend ½ can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste). If it looks too thick, add more Coke little by little. Put shredded pork and sauce in crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours
