How to Make Pulled Pork Burritos

Step-by-Step

Marinade your pork overnight in 1.5 cans of coke and 1/4 cup of brown sugar (i've also done it without the overnight marinade because I had forgotten to put it in and it still turns out delish just not as juicy!)
The next day drain the pork and put it in a crock pot/slow cooker. Add 1/2 can of coke, 1/4 cup of water and a pinch of garlic salt to taste. Cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. (I did high and it was soooo incredibly moist and fall apart tender)
After the 4 or 8 hours drain the crock pot and shred up the pork.
In a blender add 1/2 a can of coke, one of the cans of green chilies, 10 oz of red enchilada sauce and 1 cup of brown sugar. Blend until smooth.
Add that to the crock pot with the shredded pork and cook on low for another 2 hours.
While that is getting all happy get a sauce pan on the stove and add all of the ingredients for the green sauce to it. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 30 minutes. Put that off to the side.
Once the meat is finished pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.

Pull out your tortilla and pile as much or as little of the ingredients you have onto it. Tuck in both side of the tortilla and roll it up. Put some more cheese on top along with a scoop of the green chili sauce and put in the oven and let it get hot and melty - takes about 7-10 minutes. Add sour cream and serve :)
