i found this recipe from just cook already and it was a huge hit. i layered tortillas {or tostadas} with mexican rice, sweet pork, lettuce, cilantro ranch dressing, and a little cheese {everything is better with cheese}.
ingredients:
2-3 pounds pork
3 cans coke {not diet}
1/4 cup brown sugar
dash of garlic salt
1/4 cup water
1 can sliced green chilies
3/4 can enchilada sauce
1 cup brown sugar
directions:
put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinade. add about a can and a half of coke and about 1/4 cup brown sugar. marinade for a few hours or overnight. drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for 3-4 hours {or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get too dry}. remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. shred pork. in a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar {about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste}. if it looks too thick, add more coke little by little. put the shredded pork and sauce in crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours.
cilantro ranch dressing
ingredients:
1 cup salsa verde
1 package buttermilk ranch
1/3 cup cilantro
1/3 cup mayo
1/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup sugar
directions:
blend in blender until smooth.
{i used about 4 pounds of pork for a group of about 6-7, and the meat required about 2 more hours of cooking. if the meat is still not tender enough for shredding and you're running low on time, pop the entire crock pot ceramic bowl, covered in foil, in the oven at about 400 until done}
