Sweet Pork Tacos with Cilantro Lime Slaw

Cilantro Lime Slaw
1 package Cole Slaw or whole shredded cabbage (Red is the best)
1 c. Mayonnaise
1 c. Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. minced Garlic
1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. Lime Juice
1/2 tsp. Cumin

Combine all but slaw in a mini food processor or chop and combine yourself. Mix desired amount of dressing with slaw mix no more than 30 minutes before serving.

(I used the above recipe with only 1/2 a head of red cabbage and it was perfect for my taste. I liked the slaw to be juicy. Besides, you don't put a lot on the taco and not everyone will appreciate the taste.)

Roasted Sweet Pork
6 (approx) pounds Pork butt/shoulder
1 19 oz. can Red Enchilada Sauce
1 can Dr. Pepper (20 oz)
2 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 Clove Garlic or 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 1/2 c. Brown Sugar
1/2 onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Combine all ingredients into your crock pot and cook on low overnight or until meat is tender.


Next time around I will probably add a bit more brown sugar to make it a bit sweeter (closer to the pork that Cafe Rio has). However, my leftovers were much more sweeter than what we ate initially cooking it.

(If you are thinking you may not want to make a roast this big just know that the leftovers freeze great and it's even better after letting all the juices sit together in the freezer.)

Just placed the meat on top of a tortilla and then the slaw on top of that. Fold in half and take your first mouth-watering bite. Wonderful!!!
