I
finally am getting around to sharing one of my favorite recipes. I have tried lots of different versions of this recipe over the last 3-4 years and I feel like I finally came up with the perfect one. At least the perfect one for my taste buds :) It's super easy and super delicious and I would seriously consider making this every day if I could. {Adam knows I would!}
So here is my
tried & true Costa Vida Sweet Pork copy-cat recipe.
INGREDIENTS: - 1-2 lbs of boneless pork ribs - one can of Dr. Pepper (not diet!) - 2 cups of brown sugar - small can of diced green chilies - 1 can of green enchilada sauce (15 oz.) - garlic powder - onion powder - cumin
DIRECTIONS: - place pork ribs in crockpot - mix together Dr. Pepper, brown sugar, green chilies, enchilada sauce in a bowl - add garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin (I don't particularly measure, I just add it til I think it looks/tastes good) - pour sauce over ribs - cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or on LOW for 6-8 hours - when pork is cooked, shred meat with forks. let simmer for about a half hour longer or until you have the rest of the toppings made.
now to put it together! - warm up a flour tortilla on a skillet and add shredded cheese on top until melted - spoon sweet pork on top of tortilla with cheese, straining the liquid - top with cilantro lime rice (this is my
favorite recipe!), black or pinto beans (I like black, Adam likes pinto. we are a house divided ;)) romaine lettuce, homemade pico de gallo, homemade cilantro ranch dressing, and homemade fried corn chip strips.
ENJOY!
