Raise your hand if you like MEXICAN!! 

Raise your other hand if you like Cafe Rio, Bajios, or Costa Vita!

I don't know about you...but BOTH my hands are raised!

I am a HUGE fan of Cafe Rio and SOMETIMES when I am brave...I make it HOMEMADE!!

Thanks to my mother-in-laws recipe book...I always have it with me!

SO since the chicken is tender and the dressing is finger-lickin' good...

I wanted to give you ALL the recipe!

 DON'T WORRY!!

IT'S SO EASY

The recipe is actually for PORK but I didn't have pork hangin' around my house...nor will I ever...so i used chicken breasts!
They were juicy and pulled apart amazingly! 

CAFE RIO PORK or CHICKEN

1 3-4# pork roast or 6 chicken breasts

1 c. salsa

1 c. brown sugar

{THAT'S IT!}

Put pork/chicken and salsa and sugar in crock pot. Cook on low for 8 hours. Shred with fork when done. 

 Once you try this dressing...your taste buds and stomach and even your SOUL will thank you!
