Barbacoa
- 3 pounds To 6 Pounds Whole "Boston Butt" Pork Shoulder Roast (A"Picnic Roast" Will Work Too)
- 3 Tablespoons Oil
- 2 cans (12 Oz. Can) Coca Cola
- 1 cup Mild Green Enchilada Sauce
- 1 cup Red Enchilada Sauce
- 2 cups Brown Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Molasses
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 1 cube Chicken Bouillon
- 1 whole Lime, Juiced
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Rinse the roast and pat it dry.
- In a Dutch oven, heat oil and brown roast on all sides.
- Remove Dutch oven from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all other ingredients and pour over the roast; it should cover it almost to the top.
- Place the lid on the Dutch oven and place it in the preheated oven.
- Let simmer for 56 hours.
- Remove from heat and place meat on a cutting board, allow to cool, reserving the braising liquid.
- With forks or your hands, shred the meat and place in a storage container.
- Pour in enough reserved braising liquid to almost cover the shredded pork.
- Refrigerate overnight to let flavors develop.
- Reheat in a large skillet until heated through.
- Serve with black beans, lime cilantro rice and all the fixings for burritos or salads.
- If you are doing salads, see my salad dressing recipes.
- Note: For diabetics or those counting calories, you can do this recipe with Coke Zero and Truvia.
- I would cut back the Truvia to 1.5 cups.
- It tastes a little bit different but it is still good.
