Navajo Tacos

Rhodes Frozen Rolls
Canned Chili
Tomatoes
Lettuce
Shredded Cheese
Salsa
Sour Cream
Green Onion

I let the frozen rolls thaw out but not necessarily raise. I then roll them out and fry them in hot oil. In a saucepan, heat up the canned chili. To serve, put scone on your plate, top with warm chili and then your favorite toppings. This is delicious and not your ordinary taco.

Sara's Pork Barbacoa Burritos

Don't ask me who Sara is. I have no idea. All I know is I found this recipe from this website and I am excited to give it a try: http://bonsfavoriterecipes.blogspot.com.

6 Pounds Pork Roast (Cheap Roast Works Just Fine)
16 Oz. Bottle Salsa
1 Can of Coke (Regular Not Diet)
2 Cups Brown Sugar

Place pork roast in crockpot and fill half way up with water. Cook on high for 5 hours. Drain off water and cut pork roast into thirds. Mix together sauce ingredients and put on top of pork. Cook an additional 3 hours on high. Shred pork with forks. Place meat back in the crockpot and leave it on low until ready to serve.

Serve with flour tortillas, lettuce, cheese, cilantro-lime rice, lettuce, cheese, and all your favorite trimmings.

Cilantro-Lime Rice
1 Pound or 2 1/4 Cups Long Grain Rice
1 Bunch Cilantro
Juice of Two Limes
4 Cloves of Garlic
2 Tablespoons Oil

Chop garlic and cilantro. Heat oil in a skillet. Add rice and all chopped ingredients. Saute 3-5 minutes stirring frequently. Put 4 cups of water and lime juice in a rice cooker. Add rice mixture to the rice cooker. Cook according to the cooker's directions. If you do not have a rice cooker, combine rice mixture, water and lime juice in a 3-quart pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.

Cafe Rio Sweet Chicken

I got this recipe from this blogspot: http://life-should-be-delicious.blogspot.com

4 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken
1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Salsa
1 Can Cola Beverage or Root Beer

Put everything in crockpot for 8 hours on low. Remove meat and shred. Skim fat off juices. Put meat back in crockpot and let juices absorb into meat. Works well to make ahead and freeze.

Cafe Rio Cilantro Ranch Dressing
1 Package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
3 Tablespoons Salsa Verde or Green Chilies

Assembly for Tacos or Salad:
