Yucatan Roast Pork (Cochinita Pibil)
This was originally prepared by the Mayans in ovens dug into the earth and lined with stones. The meat was wrapped in seaweed or banana leaves and left to roast slowly in its own juices. The most common way to serve Cochinita Pibil is in 6 inch corn tortillas.

It’s your choice to use Dr Pepper or root beer as the liquid for this Dr Pepper or Root Beer Pulled Pork. We prefer root beer, but both are very good.

Mexican Rice
This is our own go-to recipe for perfect, fluffy Mexican rice every time. We have often wondered why we have to mix restaurant Mexican rice with refried beans to make it more palatable. This rice is our own creation. It is certainly not bona fide Mexican rice, but we like it much better. We think you will also!

Beef Burrito Filling
All the flavors of the Southwest are in this delicious Beef Burrito Filling. Oftentimes, toward the end of cooking time, I allow all the water to evaporate, then caramelize the bottom of the roast. After removing the roast and the vegetables, I add about 2 cups water and scrape up all the tasty bits left in the roaster. I add about 1 1/2 cups of this to the shredded beef. Additions to the tortilla Add plain cooked rice or Mexican Rice to the tortilla. Add refried black beans to the tortilla. (I use LaSierra Refried Black Beans. They’re fabulous, and they don’t contain any risky additives.)
