Ingredients:  
2 lbs pork
3 cans Coke (NOT diet)
1/4 c. brown sugar
dash garlic salt
1/4 c. water
1 can diced green chilies
3/4 10 oz can red enchilada sauce (I use a mild enchilada sauce)
1 c. brown sugar
Directions:
Directions:
1. Put the pork in a heavy duty Ziploc bag to marinate. Add about a can and a half of Coke and about 1/4 c. of brown sugar. Marinate for a few hours or overnight.

2. Drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can of Coke, water and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours (or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get TOO dry) or on low for 8 hours. Remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.

3. In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste.). If it looks too thick, add more Coke little by little.

4. Put shredded pork and sauce in crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours.

Personal Notes:
We serve this on top of salad (leafy green or Romaine) tossed with shredded cheese blend, tomato, and chopped cilantro. We also put crushed tortilla chips/Doritos, parmesan cheese and a delicious Cafe Rio Cilantro Lime Vinegrette Copycat! (Included in the Salad Dressings section!) This makes a simple version of the Cafe Rio Sweet Pork Salad.
