I posted this back in February and since I am craving Mexican food today I decided to re-post.
Use this to make aweome burrito's (Cafe Rio Style) or incredible salad or even the best pulled pork sammy you have ever had.
Get a 5-6 lb pork roast, (Sams Club has a great one) place it in a crock pot. Fill pot with water about an inch above roast. Sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 of an onion for flavor. Place lid on crock and cook on low for about 6 hours.
In a separate bowl, mix together 1 3/4 cans Dr. Pepper (NOT DIET) 1 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 ounce Chipotle sauce (any store will have it) 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 cup taco sauce (or finely chopped salsa), 1 tsp dry mustard, 1 tsp cumin. (Taco seasoning will work)
When meat is cooked, drain liquid from crock pot and SAVE. Set aside. Throw onions away. Pour bowl mixture over the pork roast then shred the roast using two forks. Let the sauce soak right in. Cook this shredded delight for about 2 hours, covered.
Green sauce:
Take the liquid drippings and place in stock pot. Pour in 1 large can (quart) of green enchilada sauce. bring to slow boil and add 3 Tbsp corn starch mixed with 1 cup cold water; stir in. This will thicken the sauce. Do not burn.
To make burrito's, slightly warm a large flour tortilla. Add some Mexican rice (store brand is fine), black beans (canned are fine) and Barbacoa pork. Add cheese, green sauce and roll. Cover burrito "enchilada" style with more green sauce. Guacamole and sour cream are optional.
For salad, chop fresh Romaine lettuce; add Mexican rice, barbacoa pork, and tortilla strips. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top with guacamole and some Pico de Gallo.
For pork sammy, place pork on soft roll, add cheddar cheese, light mayo and slice of tomato
