If you have ever tried Café Rio’s sweet pork bowls, they are absolutely delicious! I have tried several copycat recipes and got discouraged because they were so time consuming! The amount of time that went into making each ingredient was way too much for me so I quit trying. I decided to re-visit it and see if I could make something that was simple, but still taste good. This recipe isn’t exact, but it is easy enough that I am satisfied. This isn’t a salad, but you could easily make this recipe into a salad instead of a burrito bowl. I like that I can put the pork in the slow cooker in the morning and have a delicious meal in the evening. You can also freeze the leftover pork and use it for burritos, tacos, or salads. Instead of making this a salad, I like the ease of it as well as the delicious flavor. I hope you love this recipe as much as we do!
Preparation:
1. Place the Pork Loin into the Slow Cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
2. Remove the roast from the slow cooker and either shred it or roughly chop it into small pieces. Drain the liquid from the slow cooker.
3. Place the meat back in the slow cooker and add the Salsa, Brown Sugar, and the Chipotles. I like to blend the Chipotles and make them smooth before I add them. You could also chop them. Stir it together and let it cook for 30 minutes to let the flavors blend together.
4. Cook the Rice, drain the Black Beans.
5. Assemble with the Rice on the Bottom. Add the Beans, Pork, Cheese, Pico de Gayo or Salsa, Sour Cream, Avocado, and the Cilantro-lime Crema (from Costco).
6. Serve and enjoy!
