Cafe Rio Pork Salad

posted by ON MY MENU

For the Pork:
Buy the cheapest 2-3 lb pork roast you can find, put garlic salt and salt and pepper and fry it to brown it. Put it in a crock-pot (or regular baking pan) with 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of Coca Cola, and 1 cup of Salsa. Roast until the pork pulls apart easily and is tender. You can bake it at 350 in the oven for 2-3 hours til the same consistency.

For the Dressing:(this stuff is SOOO good, also wonderful for dipping chips.
2 cups Mayo
2 cups of Sour Cream
10 sprigs of cilantro
3 green tomatoes, fresh or canned
2 green onions
1 clove garlic
1 jalapeno pepper
juice of 1 lime
1 or 2 tsp of salt
Put it all in a blender and let er' rip.
* This makes 1 quart, so you might want to cut it in half*

For the Rice:
Use a box of Mexican flavored rice, only use half the seasoning, make as directed but adding 5 sprigs of cilantro and juice from 2 limes while the rice is boiling and before you let it simmer.

For the Rest of it:
We use romaine lettuce, guacamole, black beans, cheese and the flour tortilla dough you can buy at Costco and just heat up on a frying pan (but don't fry it)... they are SO good and taste super fresh.
And we pile it all on the in the same order as the restaurant... tortilla, cheese, rice, beans, pork, lettuce, dressing, guacamole, and we even put Parmesan on top. It is freakishly close the real thing.
