Ingredients

  • 5 lbs boneless pork roast
  • 1 lb dry pinto beans
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano

Method

  • Put all ingredients in a large dutch oven and cover with water.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours.
  • Break up the meat, taste, and readd spices to taste.
  • I always add more garlic, chili powder and cumin.
  • Cook uncovered for another 1 - 1.5 hours until thicken up.
  • You don't want it so thick that it is paste, but you don't want it watery either.
  • Serve: Tortilla chips, then chalupas, then your favorite taco toppings, i.e.
  • lettuce, tomatoe, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, hot sauce, etc.
