Cafe Rio Pork - Rice - Dressing = Cafe Rio Salad!

I LOVE cafe rio, so I was on a mission to get the best pork recipe possible. This is a combination of a few cafe rio pork recipes and my own addition. It's our favorite version of the pork. You may substitute pork with chicken or beef.

3-5 lbs pork loins or pork roast
1 1/2 cans caffeine free coke OR 1 small bottle
1/2 C brown sugar
1 tsp dry mustard (heaping)
1 tsp cumin (heaping)
1 tsp minced garlic (heaping)
1 bay leaf (remove after cooking)
2 C jalapeno tomato salsa (or your favorite salsa)
1/4 C white vinegar
ground pepper (you know this is a must in all of my recipes)

- Mix all sauce ingredients together. Pour over meat and crock pot all day!

Cafe Rio Rice:
1 C rice
2 C water
3 cubes chicken bouillon
1 T dried onion
1/4 bunch cilantro
1 T oil
1 fresh lime
Cook all together, except for the lime. Squeeze lime in before serving.

Cafe Rio Dressing - 2 delicious versions:
Version 1:
1 envelope buttermilk ranch dressing
1 C mayo
1 C milk
1/2 bunch cilantro
2 green tomatillos (remove husk)
1/2 serrano pepper with seeds removed.
- Blend it all up until creamy!

Version 2:
1 C mayo
1 C sour cream
1/2 bunch cilantro
2 green tomatillos (remove husk)
1 clove garlic
1 jalapeno pepper with seeds removed
juice of 1 lime
1 tsp salt
- Blend it all up until creamy!

If you haven't eaten Cafe Rio you might wonder what to do with all of this! Start with a tortilla. Layer on top if it: black/pinto beans, cafe rio rice, cafe rio pork, cheese, guacamole, tomato, sour cream, lots of chopped romaine lettuce, cafe rio dressing, crushed tortilla chips. It's called a Cafe Rio Salad! YUMO!!!
