Sweet Pork Salad

adapted from Picky Palate.

4 pound pork roast (speaking from experience, buy it at Costco. seriously.)
1 1/2 cups Coca Cola (not diet, not anything else - original - and I don't even like Coke.)
salt, pepper, seasoning salt, garlic powder

Sauce:
1 cup Coca Cola
1 cup ketchup (do NOT substitute barbecue sauce)

Dressing:
8 ounces Herdez salsa verde
8 ounces ranch dressing

tostadas
refried beans mixed with green chiles
shredded lettuce
black beans
brown rice
guacamole
diced tomatoes
shredded cheese
sour cream


Place roast in crockpot with Coke. Season with salt, pepper, seasoning salt and garlic powder. Cook on low OVERNIGHT. Remove roast from crockpot and discard juices. Remove any fat from the roast, then shred and place back in clean crock on Low.

Place sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often. Heat to a low boil, then pour over shredded roast. Cook on Low until ready to serve.

Whisk dressing ingredients together in bowl; refrigerate until ready to eat.

To serve: place tostada shell on plate; top with refried beans, then pork and any toppings you enjoy. Eat! (Have a napkin handy, because it's good and messy!)
