This is for sure in the "dinner hall of fame" in our family. If it's been too long since I've made this, my kids ask for it! And it's also a great and easy crowd pleaser, so I make it often when we're having company. I got this yummy pork recipe after it was served at a dinner for women at my church. We decided we love it on tostadas with yummy dressing and rice.
Cafe Rio Pork Tostadas
Print Recipe
3 lb. Pork Roast
1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
3/4 cup Taco Sauce or Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Cumin
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 1/4 cups Dr. Pepper
Put roast in 3-5 quart crock pot sprayed with cooking spray. Put water in crock pot and only fill til water is 1/2 way up the roast, so just covering bottom half. Add liquid smoke. Cook for 10-12 hours on low. Drain/discard water and shred pork with 2 forks or a fork and knife. Mix other ingredients and pour over roast. Cook on low 4-6 hours.
See that yummy pork in there?

I'm totally making this, Jess! Glad to have your recipe. Can I just ask, what is liquid smoke?
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! I'm Jessica's friend Amy and we're doing this blog together. You can buy liquid smoke at any grocery store or Walmart, I would look for it by the sauces like worsheshire (sp?), vinegar, bbq sauce, etc. The brand I have right now is Colgin Natural Hickory. You can go to http://www.colgin.com/public/ to see what it looks like, hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteOr you can be like me and not put in the smoke :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, Amy! I thought that was Jessica's post:) Thanks, ladies- I'm going to give it a try!
