Pork Roast (for Sweet Pork Burritos)

The meal I tend to eat is the Sweet Pork Burritos and Lime Cilantro Rice. I've posted them as two separate dishes, but they are quite tasty together. Thanks to my sister-in-law for this wonderful recipe. I shared it with friends and they loved it. Even my spouse, who dislikes pork, enjoyed its flavor.

*Pork Roast (for Sweet Pork Burritos)

1 3lb. pork roast (trimmed of fat as much as possible)
2 cups salsa
2 cups brown sugar

Combine above ingredients in crock pot; cook for 8-10 hours on low or 6-8 hours on high. Remove roast and shred with a fork. Return shredded pork to the crock pot and stir together with the liquid in the crock pot. Let it simmer in the liquid for more intense flavor.

Goes well with Green Sauce and Lime Cilantro Rice (side).

Additional Toppings/Sides:

Rice, prepared any way you choose
Tortillas, soft (small tortillas are easier to assemble/hold)
Cheddar cheese, grated
Black beans
Tomatoes, diced
Lettuce, chopped (I use cabbage instead to add extra 'crunch' / better flavor)
Lime/Lemon to squeeze over the top

To Serve Burritos:

Top warmed tortillas with pork, cheese, green sauce and any other fillings you like. Roll up and enjoy!

*This recipe can be served over salad, too. Omit the tortillas, put pork over lettuce and drizzle sauce over the top.
