Here are some pictures of the Cafe Rio meal. Meat recipe below. Brooke says you can use pork or beef. Cafe Rio uses pork. I don't eat at Cafe Rio very often, but the sweet pork salad is very popular. This meat recipe works for the salad too and the ranch dressing recipe would be the salad dressing. FYI: This makes enough food to feed 8 people, I would say (but I had three people's share :)
Pork
Cilantro-Lime RanchI came across another blog that had a recipe for the full sweet pork sald. It is Favorite Family Recipes. She has a different recipe for the pork, which I might try next time just to see the difference. I used her recipe for the rice and beans.
Cilantro-Lime Rice
Beans (I used less tomato juice than the recipe calls for, but next time I might just add an extra can of beans and use all the juice)
And here was my taco, or I would call it a burrito, all finished and delicious.
There were so many flavor combinations, and they all went together really well. I would recommend the burrito sized tortillas, since there is so much to pack into it. It seems like a lot of work, but I spread it out throughout the day. I put the pork in the crockpot in the morning, and mixed the ranch a couple hours later. Then I just made the rice and beans right before we ate. It's amazingly wonderful!
Here is the salad I made with the leftovers.

Oooh, I'm so excited to make them now. That looks so good, and the sweet pork is my favorite!
I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for posting pictures as well. I didn't know when I was going to get around to making this dish again.
I tried the other recipe for the pork with Coke and it wasn't as good. I would recommend Brooke's recipe.
