Cafe Rio Pork Burrito

After a fantastic meal at Kristin's over Christmas, we decided to try some shredded pork burritos a la Cafe Rio (a Mexican restaurant in Utah). It's actually a pretty widespread recipe on the Internet. Here's one of the most complete meals we found, with recipes for the shredded pork, black beans, cilantro lime rice, and the house cilantro-lime ranch dressing.

As usual, we changed it up a little bit. Most of the recipes call for various amounts of brown sugar, salsa or enchilada sauce, and Coke. We did the following for the pork:

Ingredients:
1.5 lb pork tenderloins
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups Wal-mart Peach & Pineapple Chipotle Salsa
1 cup orange-pineapple juice

Directions:
  • Put ingredients in Crock Pot and simmer for 5-6 hours
  • Shred pork and stir
  • Serve in burrito or salad with black beans, rice, lettuce, etc.
