Cafe Rio Style Pork

1 Pork Roast (2-3 lb.)
1 Can or 1 1/2 cups of Coca-Cola
1 1/2 - 2 Cups Brown Sugar
1 16 oz. jar or 4 cups salsa (medium gives more flavor, but mild is fine)
1 tsp Garlic Salt or to taste

Place pork roast in slow cooker. Add water until level is halfway up roast. Cook on high for 3- 4 hours depending on size of roast.

Take roast out of slow cooker and place on cutting board. Drain water out. Cut roast into 3-4 large pieces, place back in cooker. Add coca-cola, brown sugar, garlic salt and salsa. Stir to combine; replace lid and cook on low for 3-4 hours.

About 15 minutes before you are ready to serve, take pork out of cooker and shred with two forks. Put shredded meat back in and change cooker to "warm" or low setting. Use pork in burritos, tacos, salads, nachos or on some toasted bread with melted cheese. Be prepared to have lots of leftovers!
