sweet pork tacos and cilantro ranch dressing.

this recipe has quickly become a family favorite in our house.  it is super easy and delicious.

ingredients:

2-3 pounds pork

3 cans coke {not diet}

1/4 cup brown sugar

dash of garlic salt 

1/4 cup water

1 can sliced green chilies

3/4 can enchilada sauce

1 cup brown sugar

directions:

put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinade.  add about a can and a half of coke and about 1/4 cup brown sugar.  marinade for a few hours or overnight. 

drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for 3-4 hours {or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get too dry}.  remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot.  shred pork.

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.  

put the shredded pork and sauce in crock pot and cook on low for 2 hours.  

these tacos are really good drizzled in a cilantro ranch dressing.
