Pork Barbacoa (Cafe Rio style)

I've seen this on a couple of blogs before and I cannot wait to try it. Pork Barbacoa is my favorite thing at the Rio!!!

Ingredients
  • 2 tsp. crushed garlic
  • 3 tsp. cumin
  • 2 Tbsp. Molasses
  • 2 cans tomato sauce
  • 1 Cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups Pepsi or Coke
  • ½ tsp. salt
Mix ingredients together, place roast in crockpot. Pour 1/3 to ½ of the sauce over roast and cook on low until tender. Discard sauce when done and shred the meat. Return shredded pork to the crockpot and pour remaining sauce over pork. Stir & cook on low for 1-2 hours. To make burrito place pork, cheese, rice, and beans in a tortilla. (Costco has great uncooked tortillas) Top with creamy tomatillo dressing.
