My husband's favorite restaurant is Cafe Rio. Living in Houston he only gets to have them when we visit Utah which is closes to never. I found this copy cat recipe from http://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/ and I think she does a pretty close version of it. I think that it is a bit of work to get the meal on the table, but well worth it in the end.
For the sauce:
1 small can diced chilies
1 7 oz. can Salsa Verde
1/2 c. chicken broth
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
Combine all ingredients in small sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for at least 20 minutes. Serve warm. You can also refrigerate it overnight after simmering if you are making it in advance (My husband said it tasted even better the next day after all the flavors had settled). Just reheat in the small saucepan before serving.
For the burrito:
1 LARGE tortilla shell (click HERE)
1 large scoop rice (click HERE)
1 large scoop beans (click HERE)
1 large scoop sweet pork (click HERE)
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, to taste
Green Enchilada Sauce (see recipe above)
Lettuce
Pico de gallo
Guacamole
Sour cream
Roll up rice, beans, pork and cheese in large tortilla shell to form the burrito. Slather with a big ladle full of the green enchilada sauce and top with additional Monterey Jack cheese. Place in the oven at 450-degrees until cheese is melted. Serve with lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, and/or sour cream.
