Ingredients

• 2-3 pounds pork loin
• Garlic salt
• 1 can Root Beer (Coke or Dr. Pepper work too but NOT diet)
• ¼ cup water
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
• 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• 1 recipe Sweet Pulled Pork (recipe above)
• 1½ recipe Cilantro Lime Rice
• ½ recipe Cilantro Lime Dressing
• 1 can black beans, drained, heated
• 1-2 heads Romaine lettuce, shredded
• 1½ cups tortilla strips
• 1 cup Queso Fresco cheese
• 2 limes, cut in wedges
• ¼ cup cilantro, for garnish
• Sour cream (optional topping)
• guacamole (optional topping)
• 8 large burrito size tortillas

Directions

• Shake garlic salt all over the pork and lay fat side down in crock-pot. Pour ¼ cup Root Beer and ¼ cup water in the bottom of the pot. Cover with lid and cook on low for 6 hours.
• Just before its done, make the sauce by combining remaining Root Beer, brown sugar, enchilada sauce, green chilies, and chili powder in a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Remove the meat and shred on a cutting board. Discard the juices and fat. Place shredded pork back in the crock pot along with the sauce and cook on low for 2 hours (for the last 15-20 minutes I remove the lid so the sauce can thicken).
• Serve in Sweet Pulled Pork Salad or in burritos.
• Assemble salads by layering in the following order: tortilla, rice, beans, Sweet Pulled Pork, lettuce, tortilla strips, cheese, and dressing (or serve on the side). Add a lime wedge and a few cilantro leaves on the side.
