Cafe Rio Style Pork - wheat free/grain free/sugar free/dairy free

Cafe Rio Style Pork

Cafe Rio's pork burritos have always been a favorite of mine, but I strongly suspect they have quite a bit of added sugar.  So I decided to play with "copy cat" recipes and this one is pretty close, but doesn't have any added sugar.  Normally I would probably cook the entire thing in my crockpot, but today I didn't have time, so I started it in my oven and switched to the crockpot to keep it hot while I cooked tortillas and assembled taco fixings.

3-4 pound pork roast
1 C medium Pace Picante Sauce
1 C diet coke (I used caffeine free, but regular should work too - I just drank the rest)

Brown the roast in a stove and oven safe casserole dish, then pour on the salsa and coke.  Cover and place in a 350 degree oven approximately an hour or until cooked through.  Remove roast and cut into 1-2" pieces and return to the oven for another half an hour or until pork is soft enough to pull apart with a fork.

Pull sections apart and move to a crockpot (slow cooker).  If the pork looks dry at this point, add more salsa and coke.  Cook another 30 minutes on high in the slow cooker, or up to several hours on low, the port will absorb more flavor as it cooks.

Serve this on lettuce for a salad or use grain free tortillas to make into burritos.  You can set up a taco bar with this and add things like shredded cheese, extra salsa, guacamole and sour cream.

Makes 10-12 servings at around 250 calories each, pretty much all from the pork.  Less than 1 gram carbohydrate.
