Cafe Rio Pork burritos, lime rice and pico de gallo

Cafe Rio Pork Burritos
Burritos:
4 lb pork
5 8 oz cans tomato sauce
1 TBS pressed garlic
1 1/2-3 C. brown sugar
4 tsp cumin
4 C. dr. pepper
2-4 TBS molasses
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste
uncooked tortillas
monterey jack cheese
green enchilada sauce

Mix all together in crock pot, except tortillas, cheese and enchilada sauce. Shred pork and put back in juice. Cook tortillas in frying pan. Fill (see Lime rice recipe to follow- great inside- and add your favorite beans). Smother with monterey jack cheese and green enchilada sauce. Bake till heated through. (I put the cheese inside the burritos too..)

*A healthier version that works is to cook pork separately, shred then put in- takes the fat out of the mixture- but its so good when its cooked IN with everything else!

*This feeds quite a bit- we halfed it and fed 4 adults and a child.
* The uncooked tortillas are KEY! They're in the cold section- by the cheeses..


Lime Rice for burritos:
1 1/4 C. rice
2 TBS butter
2 1/4 C. chicken broth
3/4 tsp salt
pepper to taste
1 lg or 2 med limes- juiced
2 TBS chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp cumin
1 small can green chiles

Melt butter with rice in pan. Add liquid and other ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and cook 20 min.
(This is sooooooooooooooo good! It doesn't make as much as the burrito recipe so I make the whole thing..nice to put in the burrito and have some to eat on the side.)

Pico de Gallo
4 fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 t lime juice
1 t salt1/2 t pepper

This stuff is sooo incredibly awesome- its like the salsa they put on the side at Cafe Rio- Its really yummy- adds alot of freshness to the end!

We're huge fans of Cafe Rio and this was pretty legit. Enjoy!
