Sweet Shredded Pork Recipe/ Cilantro Ranch Dressing

From: A Thrifty Mom

You will need:
• 1-10 lbs Pork tenderloin roast ( any pork roast will work)
• 2 cans of Tomato sauce 15 oz
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
• 1 can of coke or Dr Pepper
• 1 clove garlic diced
• 1/4 cup cilantro minced

Add your meat to the Crock pot, I think it taste best if you use about 5 lbs….I did it with 8 lbs and the flavors were not as bold as I would have liked them. But the Recipe says you can use up to 10lbs so it is all a matter of taste.

Add you Tomato sauce, brown sugar, and garlic.

Add can of soda, and cilantro. ( If you do not want to cook with soda I guess you could use broth instead)
Put the lid on your crock pot, cook over Medium Heat at Least 4-6 hours. ( you can cook longer)

Once tender and pulls off easily with a fork, take out of liquid and shred with a fork.
Once Pork is shredded, return to liquid.

Eat on tortilla, with rice, black beans, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and Cilantro Ranch.
This is the recipe I use and we absolutely LOVE it!!!! We also make a lime cilantro rice to go with it. Super simple make rice add a little lime and chopped cilantro to taste. We like to pile it on a plate and the scoop it up with chips!!! YUM!!

Cilantro Ranch Dressing

• 1 pkt Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
• 8 oz can Salsa Verde Green Salsa ( come in a can)
• 1/2 Bunch of cilantro with stems ( washed)
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 1/4 cup Mayo
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/8 teaspoon Hot Sauce
Put all ingredients in a blender, and mix till smooth and creamy….add buttermilk to thin if needed. It will be thin a first and thicken up over time. So I always thin it down a bit. If you do not have buttermilk, normal milk works just fine. This is great on tacos, salads, Chip dip….love it!
