As Good as Cafe Rio

I made the Chicken Barbacoa Salad from Mom's ward cookbook for dinner tonight. It was so tasty that I just had to take a picture for the blog! If you like the salads from Cafe Rio, then you better try this recipe. It was so easy! For those of you that don't have the cookbook here is the recipe: (The origanal recipe makes a ton, so I cut it down and still have lots of leftovers. My alterations are typed next to the origanal.)

7-8 lbs boneless pork roast or boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 chicken breasts)
1 liter Cola (1 can cola)
2 lbs brown sugar (10 oz)
10 oz. ketchup (about 3.5 oz)

Simmer in crockpot about 8 hours. Shred meat with 2 large forks.

Tomatillo Ranch dressing:

2 pkgs Ranch salad dressing(milk recipe)
2 c. mayo
1 c. milk
1 (7 oz) can salsa verde (with tomatillos, not jalapenos)

(I halfed the dressing, and still have tons left.)

Layer:
Barbacoa meat, Rice (cooked with chicken bouillon), black or pinto beans, grated Cheddar jack cheese, guacamole, chopped tomatoes or fresh salsa, torn romaine lettuce, Tomatillo Ranch Dressing, and crunchy tortilla strips.

Enjoy
