I’m so anxious to try this when I go north again. Snowbird. Sounds extra tasty. We’re not buying any more food, now. Eating what we already have. My husband & I will love it. Mexican food is one of our favorites.

In reply to Barbara Howard. Hi Barbara - not two cans of Coke, two cups of Coke and one of the cups of Coke is the braising liquid that gets drained off. Of course, you could substitute fruit juice instead if you prefer.

Barbara, this recipe looks delicious, but 2 cans of coke ??? That’s at least 20 tsp of sugar! And I would not replace it with Diet Coke either, with all the artificial sweetener it contains. I would replace it with something slightly sweet, perhaps some fruit, but Coke is simply unacceptable.

Hi Barb – yes, in this recipe I don’t use the cooking liquid. But you could use it instead of the Coke if you wanted to. It will be pretty greasy though, so you’ll want to use a gravy separator if you have one.

Just to be sure I’m doing this right, do I drain off all of the sauce that the pork was cooked in, throw it out, and make a new sauce with the enchilada sauce & cup of Coke?

In reply to Rev. Earl. Great! My husband's all about the pork too.

This is going on the “Gotta Do” list. My Bride and both love Café Rio’s Pork Tostadas but it seams that our Café Rio gets carried away with the lettuce. Now we can pile on the pork and cut back on the lettuce.

In reply to Heather.

Hi Heather – yes, the meat will shred when it’s cut up in chunks – it just cooks much faster when it’s cut in piece. A pork loin will work but it won’t be as succulent.

Does the meet shred when it is cut up in chunks? If I use a 2.5 pound pork tenderloin how long would I pressure cook it?
