Sweet Pork Burritos

This recipe is the best Café Rio copycat recipe I have found to date.  I have found that the recipe really is measured though by the quality of meat you buy.  I like pork butt the best and have found it to be the closest in quality and flavor to Café Rio...so long story short...go big or go home.  You can't use a cheap Pork sirloin and expect it come out tasting succulent and moist...please use the fatty goodness of the butt!!  You won't be sorry!!

3-4 lbs pork butt
2 cups green salsa
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 12 oz can sprite
1 tbsp liquid smoke


Put pork into crockpot fat side up and pour ingredients over the top.  Cook on low in the crock pot for 6-8 hours or until the pork can be easily shredded. **after 6 hours check the roast, remove skin/fat if possible and mix ingredients up and over the pork. Remove from crock pot and let rest for 15 minutes...Shred and then return to the juices.  Serve with Cilantro-lime rice, black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, shredded lettuce, and some delicious cilantro-lime ranch!!  Sooooo good!!!
