SWEET PORK

Cafe Rio by way of Ilene Knipe

Total cook time = 6 hours in crock pot)
2 pounds pork ( I use the boneless spareribs but you can use a pork roast)
3 cans Coke (NOT diet)
1/3 c. brown sugar
dash garlic salt
1/4 c. water
1 can sliced green chilies
1 small can RED enchilada sauce (I used Old El Paso brand, medium spiciness)
1 c. brown sugar

Step 1: Put the pork in a heavy duty Ziploc bag to marinade. Add 1 ½ cans of coke and 1/3 c. of brown sugar. Marinade for a few hours or overnight.
Step 2: Drain off most of the marinade. Put pork, 1/2 can of coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours (or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get dry). Step 3: Remove pork from crock pot and drain any remaining liquid. Shred porkStep 4: In a large bowl, blend 1/2 can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (1 cup). You can add a little more if you want your pork sweeter. If mixture looks too thick, add more Coke little by little. Put shredded pork and sauce in crock pot and cook on low for 2 more hours.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Costco uncooked flour tortilla shells warmed and browned, Pico, Shredded Romaine lettuce, Feta Cheese, Tortilla strips, Garnish with Cilantro and Lime wedges
