Cafe Rio Sweet Pork Barbacoa Salad



Ingredients
  • 6 large Tortillas (we like the raw ones from Costco that you cook yourself)
  • Shredded cheese, Mexican blend
  • Cafe Rio Rice 
  • Cafe Rio Black Beans
  • Cafe Rio Sweet Pork
  • Lettuce (NOT iceberg, use leafy green or Romaine or a mix of them)
  • Diced tomato, onion, and cilantro (pico de gallo)
  • Guacamole
  • Sour cream
  • Tortilla Strips or crumbled tortilla chips
  • Cotija cheese, crumbled (or you can use Parmesan)
  • Cafe Rio Cilantro Ranch
  • OR Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette 
Instructions
  • Here is how we put it all together: First of all, we bought the aluminum deep-dish pans (they had these at the grocery store, you will know when you see them.. they look JUST like the Cafe Rio tins). Lay a tortilla in the bottom of the pan, sprinkle cheese on it, and put in the oven at 375 for about 5 min or until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, add beans, rice, pork, then lettuce and a little scoop of diced tomato and onions (pico de gallo). Add guacamole (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and sour cream. Add crushed tortilla chips, a shake of Parmesan cheese, and top with a few cilantro leaves. Serve with the cilantro ranch or vinaigrette dressing and there you have it! (makes about 6 salads)
