Café Rio Shredded Pork

3 ½ lb pork roast
1 bottle taco sauce (8 oz)
1 Tbsp cumin
1 cup brown sugar (I only used 2/3 cup)
1 can coke (NOT diet)
Place meat in crock pot. Mix ingredients and pour over top of roast. Cook on low for six hours. (My crock pot doesn’t get that hot so I used the high setting and it was fine!)

Café Rio Chicken

5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 small bottle zesty Italian Dressing
1 Tbsp cumin
3 cloves garlic, minced
Mix altogether in large crock pot. Cook on high for 5-7 hours.

Café Rio’s Lime Rice

In saucepan sauté: 2 Tbsp butter and 1 yellow onion chopped fine, and 4 garlic cloves, minced.
In a large pot bring to boil the following:
6 2/3 cup water
8 tsp chicken bouillon
½ bunch cilantro chopped
2 tsp cumin
2 small cans, diced green chilies
1 Tbsp lime juice
½ tsp pepper
3 1/4 cups rice
Mix in the onion and cook until rice is tender. (I used “Jasmine” variety rice which is a little sweeter and it was really good!) This makes a HUGE amount so you may want to ½ the recipe for a regular family of 4-5.
