| Sweet and tender shredded pork just like the one from Café Rio. Perfect for burritos, salads and tacos! Ingredients | |
| 3 pound | pork shoulder, butt |
| 16 oz | Coca-Cola soda, divided ( do not use diet soda. You need the regular soda for the sugar in it) |
| 1/4 cup | water |
| 1 teaspoon | garlic salt |
| 1/8 teaspoon | salt |
| 1/4 teaspoon | pepper |
| 1 can (4 ounces) | diced green chilies |
| 1 can (10 ounces) | red enchilada sauce |
| 3/4 cup | packed brown sugar |
Instructions
1. Spray inside of a large crock pot with cooking spray. Place pork roast inside. Pour 8 ounces of Coca-Cola ( I used a measuring cup) and water around pork. (It does not need to cover roast) Sprinkle evenly with garlic salt, salt and pepper. Cover with lid and cook on high heat for 6 hours OR cook on low heat for 8 hours.
2. Remove pork from crock pot and transfer to cutting board. Discard liquid from crock pot. Shred pork with two forks, and remove any fat.
3. In a blender or food processor, blend the remaining 8 ounces Coca-Cola, diced green chilies, enchilada sauce and brown sugar. Blend until smooth.
4. Place shredded pork back in crock pot. Pour enchilada sauce mixture over the shredded pork. Cover crock pot with lid and cook another 1 to 2 hours on low heat.
5. Serve pork in burritos, rice bowls, salads and tacos!
