I TOO am a HUGE Cafe Rio fan, along with many other people who've ever been to or lived in Utah. I found this link on my friend's page and have NOT tried this recipe, but I will soon. I had to pass it along b/c its CAFE RIO baby! WOOWHOO! I hope its good!
Sweet Pork
1-2 lb. pork tenderloin
1 cup brown sugar (we use 3/4 c. b/c a full cup is a bit sweet)
2 cups fresh salsa
Mix sugar and salsa, pour over pork. Cook in crock pot for 8 hrs. on low. When done shred with two forks and return to juice in crock pot and allow liquid to absorb. Serve with tortillas and all the fixins!
Green Chile Rice (Serves 6)
1 cup rice
2 cups chicken broth
4 oz. green chiles
1 sm. onion, diced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1-2 tsp. cumin
3 green onions.
Mix together and pour into greased 9 x 13 pan.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour or until rice is done at 350.
Cilantro Salad Dressing
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (dry mix)
1 cup buttermilk
1/2+ bunch of cilantro, chopped
1/2 small jalapeno (remove seed)
1 cup mayo
1 tsp. lime juice
2 tomatillos (remove outer papery skin)
1 garlic clove
Blend all ingredients in blender!
Doesn't it look so yummy?! I can smell it already!
