Cafe Rio Pork

3 lbs pork roast (butt or shoulder)
3/4 cup coca cola
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
3/4 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
2 limes, juice only
1 cup tomatillo dressing (recipe below; you can leave this out if you want the pork to be more sweet)

Place the pork in crock pot. Top with garlic and coca cola. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until you can shred it with a fork. When pork is tender, remove it from crock pot and shred. Drain crock pot before returning meat. Return meat to crock pot and mix in the remaining ingredients for the sauce. Cover and simmer on low until ready to serve.
