Bean and Pork Chalupa on a Corn Tortilla
Ingredients -
2 lbs dry pinto beans
Toppings (you can use some or all of these):
Chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 onion, chopped
1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
2 or 3 cups chopped chilies, depending on taste
4 lbs pork roast
1 ½ tablespoons cumin
1 ½ tablespoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon oregano
10 chalupa or taco shells
Grated cheese
Chopped olives
Chopped avocado
Taco sauce
Sour Cream
Chopped tomato
Preparation:
Mix all the main ingredients together and place them in a slow cooker with enough water to cover them. Simmer on a low heat until the meat falls from the bone and the beans are soft. This will take about 10 hours but check the liquid level every couple of hours so it does not dry out. Add more water if this happens.
Remove the fat and bone from the pork and cook uncovered until the sauce thickens. Serve in the chalupas or taco shells with whichever of the toppings you like. You can halve the recipe if you have a smaller crockpot.
