Cafe Rio Style Meal!


Cafe Rio Style Pork
1 pork roast between 3-4 lb. picnic roast is fine/bone in or with out doesn't matter
3 cups of mildsalsa (I puree this so there are no chunks! Kids like it better with no chunks)
1 cup of brown sugar
Place the ingredients into your crock pot & cook on high for 6 hours or low 10.

When the cooking time is up remove the roast & shred pulling out any fat. Serve on a salad or like me in tacos. I use fresh tortillas, pork, grated cheese, lettuce, salsa & cafe rio style creamy tomatillo sauce & lime rice -recipes below.
Cafe Rio Style Tomatillo Sauce
1 package of ranch dressing mix made as directed for dressing
2 medium tomatillos cut into chunks
1/2- 2 chopped & seeded jalapenos (depending on your taste)
1/3 of a bunch of cilantro
1 tsp. chopped garlic
juice of one lime
blend until smooth in the blender- this makes a lot of dressing, at least a quart!
Cafe Rio Style Sweet Lime Rice
2 cups white rice
4 cups of water
2 chicken bullion cubes
zest of one lime
1 tsp chopped garlic
Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Then stir in
6 Tblsp of finely chopped cilantro
4 tsp sugar mixed with 4 tsp lime juice
salt as desired
Serve!
