So I looked up a few Cafe Rio recipes on the internet, but I ended up just winging one based on what I found. I think it turned out really well, so I'm going to post it here.
Cafe Rio Pork
4-5 pound boneless pork loin roast
2 cans sprite
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 packets onion soup mix
1 can Hunts fire roasted tomatoes with green chili (although any tomato with green chili will do)
Place all of the ingredients in a crock pot for several hours, until the pork shreds easily. (If I have a lot of time, I cook it on low. If I'm short on time, I turn my crock pot to high.) The carbonation in the soda makes the pork tender and yummy!
Tomatillo Dressing
This makes tons of dressing.
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup mayonaise
3 tomatillos (they look like green tomatoes, in a husk)
2 cloves garlic
4-5 tbsp. dry ranch mix. (one packet is equal to three tbsp.)
1/2 bunch of cilantro
the juice of one lime
salt to taste
Blend all of the ingredients in a food processor until thoroughly combined and refridgerate to set. This comes out like a thin ranch dressing. It's a little tangy, but delicious!
We ate this on salad complete with rice, black beans and guacamole. MMMMM!!
