Cafe Rio anyone?

My sister in law e-mailed me a few Cafe Rio recipes and we tried two of them the other night. I was very surprised at how easy the recipes were, but so good at the same time. My husband said it didn't taste exactly like Cafe Rio, but said it was still really good. We made ours into burritos with the beans and the pork inside, we poured some green enchilada sauce over the top, added some cheese and broiled it in the oven for a few minutes. Give it a try and see what you think. -Kaitlyn
