Cafe Rio Salad

Pork

3 pounds pork roast (butt or shoulder)
3/4 cup coca cola
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
3/4 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
2 limes, juice only
1 cups tomatilla sauce (see recipe)

Place the pork in a crock pot. Top with garlic and coca cola. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until you can shred it with a fork. When pork is tender, remove it from crock pot and shred. Return meat to crock pot and mix in the remaining ingredients for the sauce. Cover and simmer on low until ready to serve.

Creamy Tomatillo Dressing

2 large jalapeño peppers (I use 1 or 2 and I take out most seeds)
3 cloves garlic
2 tomatillos
1 handful cilantro
2 limes, juice only
2 cups milk
2 cups mayonnaise
2 packages Hidden Valley ranch salad dressing mix

Blend all ingredients except mayonnaise in blender until smooth. Whisk in the mayonnaise and chill until ready to serve.

You can fry large flour tortillas in really hot oil and then drain them on a paper towel [in a bowl so they harden in a bowl shape], or you can buy the tortilla bowls that are already shaped that you bake. We make a salad with romaine lettuce, the pork, black beans, Mexican rice, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, or anything else you want to add. Top with the dressing.
