Cafe Rio Pork Burritos

(sorry about the picture, the green plate doesn't make it look all too appetizing does it? But I promise, it tastes great!)

For those of you who live outside of Utah, or those that live there and just don't want to head to the delicious Cafe Rio, here's a recipe I found. I believe this rivals Cafe Rio, and will definitely satisfy those cravings, so enjoy! (this is just the pork Burrito, I don't have a recipe for the salad dressing, but should I find a good one, I'll be sure to post it!)

2 1/2lbs pork

1 tsp pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp powdered allspice
1 tsp powdered cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground coriander
6 cloves garlic, minced
juice from one lime

put all together in the crock pot, cover and cook on high for 4 hours
Once it's done, drain and shred pork, stir in 1/2 C green chili sauce and 1/2 C brown sugar.

Cilantro-Lime Rice

1 C uncooked rice
1 tsp butter or margarine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp lime zest
1 can (15 oz)chicken broth
1 1/4 C water
2 Tbsp freshly sqeezed lime juice
2 tsp granulated sugar
3 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

In a saucepan combine rice, butter, garlic, lime peel, chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil Cover and cook 15-20 minutes, until rice is tender. Remove from heat. In a small bowl combine lime juice, sugar and cilatro. Pour over hot cooked rice.

Black Beans

1 can black beans rinsed and drained
1 1/3 C tomato juice (I just used a can of diced tomatoes and it was fine)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

In a nonstick skillet, cook garlic and cumin in olive oil over medium heat until you can smell it. Add beans, tomato juice, and salt. Continually stir until heated through. Just before serving stir in the cilantro.

Pico De Gallo

1 large onion
1 large bell pepper
2-3 large tomatoes
1/4 C fresh chopped cilantro
sea salt

Dice the onion,bell pepper, and tomato (I like it finely diced). combine with cilantro and a dash of sea salt. try to do this at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors combine.

Make your burritos and top with heated green chili sauce and cheese, with some Pico on the side. Enjoy!
