Sweet Pork Burritos - Rachel

Please leave a comment for Sweet Pork Burritos. Did it feed six? Did you like it? Did you love it?

2 lb. pork loin
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder - (you can add more for more of a kick, but I was thinking of your kids!!)
1 tsp. ginger
2 Tbsp. minced onion
1 cup enchilada sauce - (I used mild.. again... kids)
1 cup brown sugar

Mix worc. sauce, water, garlic powder, salt, chili powder, ginger, and onion and pour over pork loin. Cook in crock pot low 9 -10 hrs and high 5-6 hours (until shreddable). Shred and drain. Add enchilada sauce and brown sugar. Mix well and serve on tortillas with your favorite toppings, like: black beans, rice, lettuce, cheese.

**This tastes a lot like the sweet pork at Bajio (to me, anyway). So then I wanted the sweet rice too which isn't included with the dinner club meal, but I thought I'd leave the recipe Matt found for us! Bonus!!

Sweet Rice (from recipezaar.com)
1/2 - 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 of a white onion, chopped
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1 1/3 cups white rice
3 cups chicken broth
1/4 - 1/2 cup white sugar

Put a little oil in the bottom of a pan (about 1/2 - 1 Tbsp). Saute chopped onion until transluecent. Add the chopped cilantro (no big stems) and saute a minute more. Add the rice, cooking until it is light brown (being careful not to burn). Combine the chicken broth and sugar, letting sugar dissolve. Then stir into rice until combined. Bring to a boil. Cover and let cook on low, med-low until rice is done, about 25-30 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Matt also stuck in there a few chopped red and green peppers cause we had them. Turned out awesome!!
