Costa Vida Sweet Pork (knock-off recipe)

  • 4-5 lbs. Pork Roast
  • 3 C. Coke
  • 1 can Tomato Sauce
  • 1/2 C. Sugar
  • 2 heaping T. Brown Sugar
  • 1 T. Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1 (smallish) Serrano pepper, diced and seeded
    (add seeds if you want it hotter)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Put all ingredients in a crock pot (cut away any obvious fat portions from the roast). Cook on high for 6-7 hours until the pork is shred-able.

Remove pork to cutting board and shred. Add an additional 1/2 c. granulated sugar and 1 C. coke to the liquid in the crock pot and stir well. Add the pork back to the crock pot and stir. Reduce temperature to low and cook an additional 3 hours.

Serve in burritos, tacos, enchiladas, etc.
