In heaven I picture two things. My rodizio pinepple and my recipe for cafe rio pork. My hubby also puts these in the top two recipes I have made. I think the honey lime is a close third. 🙂 This pork has the best flavor to it. I have tried 5 different “cafe rio” recipes. One even had Coke in the recipe. They were ok, but the McCormick seasoning gives it the perfect sweet and tangy flavor that is awesome! I cook for a group of guys every week and this is the only thing they request. There are a few secrets to it, find good pork to cook. Wal-mart surprisingly has a big sealed pork shoulder roast. But the difference is, the meat looks whiter and not so fatty. Or even Costco. You have to buy the big sealed pork. I have cooked with a darker looking meat before and it doesn’t shred as well and isn’t as good. Also don’t buy the regular tortillas! Either buy the ones that are uncooked, or make your own! That is the trick to get the full cafe rio experience! I also made this with a side of my cornbread.
Will I make it again: Is that even a question?? 🙂
