Sorry - no picture, we ate it all too fast. This is the closest recipe I have found to Cafe Rio's Pork Barbacoa. It's fabulous. FABULOUS.
Stick your pork roast in your crock pot and enough water to go about half to 3/4 of the way up. It can be up to 6 pounds, but I had a 2 pounder. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
Cook on high 3 -4 hours, then drain out water.
Pour in 12 oz La Victoria Red Taco Sauce (almost the whole container), 1 C loosely packed brown sugar, and 12 oz of Coke. Cook for about an hour or so, then shred the pork and let it simmer in its juices in the crockpot for another hour or so.
Serve Cafe Rio style by layering: Tortilla, beans and rice, pork, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, tortilla chips, guacamole, etc. A quesadilla with it is fabulous as well.
For the dressing, there's a whole lot of recipes out there, but I just take ranch dressing, add some lemon or lime juice and some fresh cut up cilantro and it tastes great.
