Crockpot Wednesday: Chalupa

Chalupa is one of our fav meals around here! Joe's family makes this quite often and it is one of the recipes his mom gave me when we first got married. It is super simple - throw everything together and walk away. And it is super delicious as well!
Here's the recipe:

1 1/2 pound pork loin roast
1/2 pound dried pinto beans
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 Tbs. cumin
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 Tbs. chili powder
4 oz. diced green chilies
1/2 Tbs. salt


Put all ingredients in the crockpot and cover with water. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Bone and shred the pork and then cook on high to desired consistency (generally it is about right anyway, so I don't normal cook any longer). Serve over chips and top with sour cream, cheese, salsa, etc.

*note: you do not have to presoak the beans.

This turned out great, as usual! Hard to mess this one up! I serve mine with a side of guacamole and Asian cole slaw! Hey, the slaw was leftover from lunch - don't worry, I don't normal combine Asian and Mexican food in the same meal!
