Cafe Rio Pork

This recipe was sent to me by my sister, Traci, but I'm posting it for her cuz it's just so dang good and easy! She said that she used the Splenda brown sugar mix to cut down on the amount of sugar. (It is a lot, but I suspect that's why it tastes so good.) I used less sugar anyways.


1 pork loin (about 2 1/2 lbs.)
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 cans chopped green chilies
1 pkt. taco seasoning
3/4 bottle salsa
pinch of dried onion
1/2 cup water

Place pork in crockpot, pour ingredients in with water and salsa last. Cook on high for 4 hours. Shred meat and cook for 1 more hour. Serve with tortillas, sour cream, salsa, cilantro, cheese (you know, the regular Mexican food toppings).

Mmmm... this sounds good. Though I've been to Cafe Rio a few times, I've only tried the chicken. I'll have to give the pork a try.
