Cafe Rio Type Pork Barbacoa




I got these recipes from a friend DC, I have modified them a little bit according to our tastes. These recipes are super good!

3-5 lb Pork Loin or Pork Roast
1½ cans Coke Classic (Dr. Pepper is better)
1 c. sugar
7 oz can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce – provides a lot of heat
(or plain adobo sauce for sweeter sauce)
1 tsp. dry ground mustard, heaping
1 tsp. cumin, heaping
1 tsp. garlic, minced

Remove the chilies from adobo sauce (throw chilies away) and add all ingredients (except pork)
in a blender. Rinse can of adobo sauce with Coke (Dr. Pepper) to get all the sauce out. Blend in
blender until well mixed. Place pork in crock pot and pour sauce over it. Cook for 4 to 6 hours on high or 7 to 9 hours on low. Carefully turn roast over halfway through the cooking cycle. Cook in sauce until pull apart tender and shred. Put shredded meat back into sauce. Serve in a large tortilla with black beans, green chili rice, monterey jack cheese, romaine lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. Squeeze lime juice on just before eating. Also can be used in a salad using the same toppings and Creamy Tomatillo Dressing.
