Pork roast is slow-cooked with savory and sweet ingredients, including a can of cola, to create tender, shredded pork burritos. A tomatillo sauce, made easy with a dressing mix, tops the pork for an out-of-this-world entree.—Katherine Nelson, Centerville, Utah

I really wanted to love this recipe. When I saw it in the Slow Cooker cookbook, I was very excited to try it.The pork smelled heavenly while it was cooking. But I found that the pork was very sweet when I was shredding it, and didn't even add the last bit of brown sugar, opting instead to put in extra cumin, which really helped with the sweetness. I would not add the coke at all if I made it again. And I might try it with beef since it has a bit stronger flavor to stand up to the rest.The flavor was good, but I wasn't wowed. I really wished it tasted as wonderful as it smelled when cooking.

Absolutely fabulous! I made this for Mother's Day & it was a huge hit. My husband's favorite kind of food is Mexican, so I'm always afraid to make something new. He loved it! The food was worth the effort.

This is the 1st recipe I have ever rated on any website. Thats how wonderful this recipe is. I have made this 3 times in the last 6 months for family get togethers and it gets RAVE reviews. It is so easy. This was the 1st time I had ever used a tomatillo and we found the tomatillo sauce to be absolutely wonderful on just about anything so make extra and it can be made a day or two in advance. Most slow cooker meat recipes are dry and tasteless this one is tender, juicy and flavorful. You can adjust the spices for personal preference - I leave out the red pepper flakes because I don't like much spice.
