Copycat Cafe Rio recipes

Wynn, look at these awesome recipes Michelle sent to me!!! To complete it I need to find those tortillas you have been telling me about. What are they called? I can't find them!!! Love you all.

Café Rio Dressing

1 buttermilk ranch dressing packet (make as per recipe)2 tomatillos (tomato like vegetable with a husk around them)½ bunch of cilantro1 clove garlicJuice of 1 lime1 jalapeño (Use the seeds too if you like it spicy. You could substitute a few drops of green tobasco for the jalapeno.)Use a food processor to blend all the ingredients well. Refrigerate.

CAFE RIO CILANTRO DRESSING
1 1/3 cups sour cream3/4 cup mayonnaise1 bunch of cilantro1 package ranch dressing mix4 tbsp. salsa verde (green salsa)2 cloves of garlic1/8 tsp. Tabasco saucejuice of one limeMix together in the blender... and that's it!

Cafe Rio Chicken
1 small bottle Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing 1 T chili powder1 T cumin3 cloves garlic—minced5 lbs chicken breast
Cook all together in a crock pot for 4 hours, shred meat and cook 1 additional hour.
Note: I have also tried to "replicate" the chicken burritos. What I do is I put them in the crockpot with whatever beans we like (either pinto or black), a packet of taco seasoning, and a can of green sauce. After a few hours on low, I shred the chicken and mix it all back together. It turns out very yummy!

Café Rio Pork
Slow cook 2 ½ pounds of pork in 1/3 cup water with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Then you drain and pull the pork and stir in 1/2 cup green chili sauce and brown sugar. I hope it's as good as the real thing!

I followed the recipe for the sweet pork but added about 1/2 cup of coke and IT TURNED OUT GREAT!! I started laughing it tasted so much like Cafe Rio.
