Instructions

Slow Cooker Sweet Pork
    Cup of Yum
  1. Spray inside of a large crock pot with cooking spray. Place pork roast inside. Pour 8 ounces of Coca-Cola ( I used a measuring cup) and water around pork. (It does not need to cover roast) Sprinkle evenly with garlic salt, salt and pepper. Cover with lid and cook on High heat for 6 hours OR on Low heat 8 to 9 hours.
  2. Remove pork from crock pot and transfer to cutting board. Discard liquid from crock pot. Shred pork with two forks, and remove any fat.
  3. In a blender or food processor, blend the remaining 8 ounces Coca-Cola, diced green chilies, enchilada sauce and brown sugar. Blend until smooth.
  4. Place shredded pork back in crock pot. Pour enchilada sauce mixture over the shredded pork. Cover crock pot with lid and cook 2 hours on Low heat.
Quesadillas
  1. Start by taking one flour tortilla. Spread 2/3 cup of shredded pork evenly over tortilla. Sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Monterey jack cheese evenly over the pork. Top with another tortilla.
  2. Carefully cook on a warm, greased skillet 1 to 2 minutes, on each side, just until golden and crispy. Repeat with remaining tortillas, pork and cheese. Slice each into 6 triangles and serve warm with desired toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • *If you have leftover sweet pork, it stays good tightly covered in fridge for up to 3 days.
