Cafe Rio Pork & Tomatillo Dressing

Cafe Rio Pork aka Meat Candy

6 lb pork roast

Cook roast in crock pot with water 1/2 way up for about 6 hours. Drain water and shred meat. Return to crock pot and add:

1 - 12 oz can salsa of choice
1 - 20 oz can coca cola (could use root beer or dr. pepper too)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cumin (optional)

Cook for another 3-4 hours


Creamy Tomatillo Dressing

1 c. buttermilk
1 c. mayonnaise
1 chopped, seeded jalapeno
2-3 tomatillos chopped
1/3 bunch of cilantro, chopped
1 clove minced garlic
1 envelope ranch dressing mix
1 tsp. lime juice

Add all ingredients to blender and blend well. Chill.


Make any way you like tacos or burritos. Travis loves it on tostadas. Top with lettuce, tomato, avacado, cheese, sour cream... whatever you love! We also made up some rice to layer in there too; very yummy. We add a full bunch of cilantro to ours and more lime juice but that's just cause we love it!!!

Made this for supper last night. Really good...especially the tomatillo dressing! I just made it with ranch dressing instead the ranch mix, buttermilk, and mayo. Worked great.
