My friend, Jen, led me to this recipe blog and this awesome recipe. I've missed Cafe Rio sooo much since moving out of Utah! I made the sweet pork salads for my family and it was a huge hit! It tastes just like the real thing. There is a ton of prep work involved but it is so worth it! I'm excited to try the chicken recipe too now!

More recently she also posted a recipe for fritos pie and it was fabulous as well, just click home and you'll see that recipe.

Enjoy! More recipes to come soon! I promise! ;)
