3-5 lb Pork Loin or Pork Roast
1½ cans Coke Classic (Dr. Pepper is better)
1 c. sugar
7 oz can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce – provides a lot of heat
(or plain adobo sauce for sweeter sauce)
1 tsp. dry ground mustard, heaping
1 tsp. cumin, heaping
1 tsp. garlic, minced
Remove the chilies from adobo sauce (throw chilies away) and add all ingredients (except pork)
in a blender. Rinse can of adobo sauce with Coke (Dr. Pepper) to get all the sauce out. Blend in
blender until well mixed. Place pork in crock pot and pour sauce over it. Cook for 4 to 6 hours on high or 7 to 9 hours on low. Carefully turn roast over halfway through the cooking cycle. Cook in sauce until p
ull apart tender and shred. Put shredded meat back into sauce. Serve in tortilla with toppings of your choice.
- When I have made this we use Dr.Pepper and instead of taking the chilies out of the adobe sauce we just blend them up with it. We don't find it too spicy, but that's all your own preference. Hope you will all try this out......maybe someday I'll make it to Cafe Rio.....I've heard wonderful things about it but have never been......thanks Beckey for an AWESOME recipe.....

I want to try this version! I've made a different one (it's on my dinner blog), so now I'm curious if they are very different.
In my opinion, Costa Vida is better than Cafe Rio (exact same menu, just different companies). So if you get out to this area, you'll have to give Costa Vida a shot too!!
Now I need to try it with the peppers too! I usually squeeze all of the julices out of them before I through them out....Costa Vida is really good too if you ever make it to Utah...I was just reading the comment from Becca Jane and have to agree with her...I think Costa Vida is slightly less expensive too! Glad you like this recipe! Have you tried the green rice with it?
