Rio Sweet Pork

This Pork is a real crowd pleaser and I know your family and friends will go back for more! I love the sweetness of this dish with the bite of garlic in the Cilantro Lime sauce.  You also have options on how to eat it.  Roll it up in a tortilla or make it into a salad.  You could even make the salad on top of the tortilla!  

The only thing you have to worry about cooking this roast over night is how the amazing smell will wake you through the night. Just keep your eyes closed and fall back asleep as you dream of eating this lovely meal for dinner!
