Just like our favorite Mexican restaurant, and easy to make. This recipe makes a lot, so you can use the meat to fill burritos, enchilada, tacos, or add to salad with Cafe Rio Salad Dressing.

Ingredients

6 (approx) pounds Port butt/shoulder

1 19oz. Red Enchilada Sauce

1 can Dr. Pepper or (20oz)

1 tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Garlic salt

1 ½ c. Brown sugar

1 tbsp. Fresh cilantro, chopped

Preparation

*Wrap meat in foil. Put in roasting pan and bake at 275 degrees for 5 hours. Pull the meat out and let it cool for 30 minutes then shred. In separate bowl, mix the enchilada sauce, Dr. Pepper, salt, garlic salt, brown sugar and chopped cilantro. Pour over meat and mix.

Cook's Notes

Serve in fresh cooked tortilla with black or pinto beans and Cilantro Lime Rice. Add your favorite burrito toppings and enjoy!
