1 C. Cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tomatillos - peel off paper, chop
1/3-1/2 cups buttermilk, to consistency you want
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
Put in Blender or Food Processor and mix.

Shredded Cafe Rio Pork
3 lbs. Pork
16 oz. bottle of chunky salsa (blended in blender so chunks are gone)
1 Can Coke (yes, I mean a can of soda)
1-1 1/2 C. Brown Sugar
Place pork in crock pot. Fill with water until about half the pork is sticking out of the water. Cook on High for 5 hours. Drain off water. Cut pork in thirds. Mix together sauce ingredients and put on top of pork. Cook an additional 3 hours on high. Shred pork with forks. Leave it on low until ready to serve.

Homemade tortillas
3C. Flour
1/2 C. veggie or olive oil
1 & 1/8 C. luke warm water
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Mix all ingredients and knead. if too hard to knead, add a little water but if too sticky add a little more flour. Let stand for about 10 minutes. Makes 12 small balls. Flatten each by rolling them out and then cook them in frying pan.**you can have 2 frying pans gong at once so they cook faster.
