Description

Inspired by Costa Vida and Cafe Rio, the easiest crockpot recipe that is sure to wow you, family and friends! Serve as burritos or as a salad.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SWEET PORK:
  • 3 pounds Pork Roast (any Kind Will Do!)
  • 2 cups Salsa
  • 2 cups Brown Sugar
  • FOR THE CILANTRO-LIME RICE:
  • 1 cup Uncooked Rice
  • 1 teaspoon Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
  • 15 ounces, fluid Chicken Broth
  • 1-¼ cup Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
  • FOR THE TOMATILLO DRESSING:
  • 1 bottle (8 Oz. Size) Ranch Dressing
  • 2  Tomatillos, Chopped
  • 1 clove Garlc, Minced
  • ½ bunches Cilantro
  • ½ teaspoons Lime Juice
  • 1  Jalapeno (no Seeds)

Preparation

For the sweet pork:
Place pork in a crockpot and cover with salsa and brown sugar. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until it shreds easily. Shred and return meat to the juices in the crockpot.

For the cilantro-lime rice:
Combine rice, butter, garlic, lime zest, chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook 15-20 minutes, until rice is tender. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, sugar and cilantro. Mix into rice.

For the tomatillo dressing:
Combine ranch, tomatillos, garlic, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno in a blender. Mix well.

We serve this with black or pinto beans and cheese inside tortillas for burritos with dressing on the side for dipping. Costa Vida salads are also known as a must-have here in Utah, so add some lettuce to all these fixin’s and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

We had this meal last night. So delicious! The tomatillo sauce perfectly balanced the sweet pork. We will definitely be making this often!
