Ingredients

For the Pork Roast:

  • 2-4 pounds pork roast
  • 1 ½ cups Coca Cola
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic seasoning salt

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup Coca Cola
  • 1 cup ketchup

For the Dressing:

  • 1 jar Herdez Salsa Verde (mild tomatillo salsa, I get it at Walmart, any size)
  • equal amount of prepared ranch dressing (Hidden Valley)
  • 1 bunch cilantro

For the Salad:

  • 10 inch wheat or flour tortillas
  • green leaf lettuce shredded
  • black beans I just used canned
  • cilantro lime rice (steamed rice with chopped cilantro leaves and fresh lime juice, as much as desired)
  • diced tomatoes and cheese and guacamole, etc
  • Crispy Tortilla Strips (flour tortillas cut into thin strips and fried in vegetable oil until browned)

Instructions

  • Place roast in crockpot with Coke; season with salt, pepper and garlic seasoning. Cook on low overnight, until tender. Remove roast from crockpot, discard juices. Shred pork into bite size pieces and place back into pot on low.
  • Place Cola and ketchup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often. Heat to a low boil. Pour over shredded roast. Cook on low until ready to serve.
  • For dressing, place equal parts salsa verde and ranch dressing into food processor or blender. Add Cilantro leaves and process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To serve: Place tortilla onto a large bowl or plate. Layer with lettuce, beans, rice, pork, dressing and tomatoes, cheese and guacamole. Cheese, guacamole and crispy tortilla strips not pictured, but really good in it!
