Cafe Rio Pork Burritos

The picture here really doesn't do these babies justice. These burritos are the best thing you can imagine. Try them for your next Fiesta or just if you're hankerin' for some good Mexican!


(These were reheated the next day when the picture was taken. These taste- and look- better when they are fresh out of oven!!)

1 Can or small bottle of Coke (not diet)
3 pound pork
1/2-1 cup brown sugar
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 (15 oz.) cans mild green chile sauce, divided
2 cups Mexican cheese or Monterey Jack Cheese, grated
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
Garlic to taste
1 (10 count) pkg. flour tortillas

Garnishes:
chopped tomatoes sour cream
salsa guacamole
lettuce

Marinate the pork overnight in coke in a ziploc bag. In the morning, place pork in slow cooker with the coke marinade. Cook on low approx. 7 hours. Remove pork from slow cooker and drain out liquid. Shred pork in a bowl. Stir in 1 can (or 1 cup) of chile sauce and brown sugar. Place back in slow cooker and let cook for 30 min- 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350*. Spray 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray. Warm tortillas in microwave so that they are easy to roll.

Pour 1/2 cup chile sauce into prepared pan. Place 1/3 cup of meat mixture down the middle of each tortilla. Sprinkle 1-2 tsp. black beans and 1-2 tsp. cilantro on top of meat. Roll burrito and place seam side down in baking dish. Continue until you've used all tortillas/meat. Pour remaining chile sauce over burritos and sprinkle with cheese. Cover with foil and bake 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with desired garnishes.

Yummy! We love these, but we also add a cup of salsa to the marinade and while the pork cooks. Adds just a little bit of a kick to go with the sweet!
