If you're from Utah, you know that Cafe Rio makes the best Sweet Pork ever. Since we are in Washington right now where Cafe Rio doesn't exist, we have to make up for it and make our own. I've made this to recreate the Sweet Pork Salad from there, but Jake likes burritos better so we do that mostly instead.
Sweet Pork Burritos
Ingredients:
3-4 lb pork roast
1 1/2 cups salsa
1 cup brown sugar
Put roast in crockpot and cover with water. Add some salt and pepper. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Drain water and add salsa and brown sugar. Cook for additional 1-2 hours. Shred pork roast and let sit in juices to soak them up. Add more salsa and brown sugar, if desired, to taste.
From there you can put whatever you want in your burrito. We usually go with some Cilantro Lime Rice (recipe below), black beans, guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes, etc. But basically anything is good in these. Roll 'em up and enjoy!
Cilantro Lime Rice
(Adapted from Jamie Cooks It Up - for rice cooker)
I love my rice cooker and never have been able to make rice on the stove top the way this thing does. Best $25 kitchen purchase ever. So I've adapted her recipe for my rice cooker. Go to her website to find the stove top recipe.
2 cups uncooked rice
1 Tablespoon butter
2 cloves minced garlic
2 chicken bullion cubes
2 1/2 cups water
Add ingredients to rice cooker. Cook until done. Then mix together the following ingredients and add to rice. Mix thoroughly.
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 Tablespoon sugar
3 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
