Sweet Pork

I know this isn't really that much like Cafe Rio pork, and it's SUPER easy...but we still love it!I've tried many of the Cafe Rio copycat recipes, and I still prefer this one!

Sweet Pork
1 pork roast
1-2 bottles of Pace Picante Salsa (mild or medium)
Brown Sugar

Cook pork roast and 1/2 cup water in crockpot on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 (8-10 if frozen). Drain juices, and shred pork. At this point, you can refrigerate, freeze, or immediately use the pork. You can freeze all together in a freezer bag, or you can freeze it in individually sized portions. To continue:

Place shredded pork roast, 1 bottle pace picante sauce and 1/2 to 1 cup brown sugar (to taste) in your crockpot. You can add more or less pace depending on how big your pork roast is. You want it mixed in well, but you don't want it to be too juicy. Cook until pork is warmed through. Prior to serving, it helps to drain some of the excess juice.

Serve on tortillas with all your favorite sides: beans, rice, corn, salsa, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, guacamole, etc!
