Recipe(tried): Another Cafe Rio Pork Option (crock pot)

Main Dishes - Pork, Ham
Here's another option for CAFE RIO PORK that is a little more complex than the salsa recipe, but, oh, so divine. Just mix the sauce, add pork (I usually either use pork loin or pork roast), and cook in the crock pot on low for 7-9 hours (or until it pulls apart with a fork.

1 1/2 cans Coca-cola classic (i've tried it with generic varieties and it's not the same. Diet coke is too sweet.)
1 cup sugar
1 (7 oz) can Chipotle Chiles in ADOBO sauce (since you use the sauce, not the chiles, it is important that you get the chiles in adobo sauce)
1 heaping tsp each of Dry Ground Mustard and Cumin
1 tsp minced garlic.

1. Remove the chiles from the can of adobo sauce. (I left the chiles in once, and it was so potent I cried when I lefted the lid of the crock pot. If you like super-spicy foods, leave one or two chiles in. If you want to clean the system, go ahead and use them all . . .)

2. Add all ingredients (except pork, of course) in a blender. Rinse can of adobo sause with coca-cola to get all the sauce out. Blend until well mixed.

3. Place pork in crock pot and pour sauce over it. (If you use more pork, double the sauce recipe, etc.) Cook on low for 7-9 hours or until the pork pulls apart with a fork.

*NOTE: If you are making a salad, Costco sells some un-cooked, pre-made flour tortillas. When you heat them up in a pan, it tastes lilke the real thing!
