Save Recipe

Ingredients

1. 2 lbs pork ( pork butt is the best because it will shred easier)
2. 3 cans of co*ke (diet will not work)
3. 1/2 cups brown sugar
4. 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
5. 1 can diced green chiles
6. 1 can enchilada sauce
7. 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

1. Place pork into a Ziploc bag to marinate, pour one can of co*ke and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Marinade for 3 to 4 hours or even overnight. (Both will work.)
2. Drain the marinade and put the pork, 1 can co*ke, and garlic in the crock pot on high for 3 to 4 hours or 6 to 7 hours on low.
3. Remove pork from crock pot, and drain the liquid. Shred the pork.
4. Mix together in your blender, 1/2 cup of co*ke, chiles, enchilada sauce and 1 cup brown sugar.
5. Place shredded pork back in the crock pot, sauce and heat until the mixture is warmed.

Notes

1. If you use a higher quality of pork, it will work, but you will have to slice it instead of shredding. Still super delicious and tender! That is what we used in this picture.

5. I was SERIOUSLY craving Cafe Rio the other day and I love to cook these lovely recipes on Sunday, because you can cook the meat while your at church and the whole family is at home (except Jessica and her cute family). Some things need to be repeated over and over again because its soooooo addicting! The great thing about making Cafe Rio at home is there is LEFTOVERS!!!!! Yipee!!!
