Amity's Pork Salad

My friend Amity has a radar or something because every time I am about to feed my family cereal for dinner she calls and says, "I have extra dinner do you want some?" One of these meals she brought over was her Pork Salad. Dennis, Cadey (my one child that eats!) and I ate it and thought it was one of the best things we had ever put in our mouths!!! SOOO YUMMY! We served it last night for Cadey's birthday dinner.


Ingredients:

1 3-4 lb. pork loin

1 cup brown sugar

I cup salsa

Tortillas

Lettuce

1 can black beans

Rice (about 2 1/2 servings)

chopped tomatoes (3-4)

chopped onion (about 1/2)

1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Dressing:

1 1/3 cup sour cream

1 1/3 cup mayonnaise

1 packet ranch dressing

1 bunch cilantro

lime juice

4 Tbs. Salsa Verde

1/8 tsp. Tabasco sauce

Directions:

We sered our pork loin on the stove with salt and pepper and then put in the crock pot on low for about 6-8 hours. However, you can just put it directly into your crock pot and it still cooks up nice.

When pork is cooked thoroughly, shred and add salsa and brown sugar.

While that is cooking make your toppings.

Pico de gallo: combine your chopped tomatoes, chopped onions and cilantro.

Dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend.

Rice: In your water add lime juice and some cilantro, cook as directed. After cooked, mix in your black beans.

Salad is assembled on your tortilla and can be eaten as a burrito.
