This is a family favorite.....This has always been a must have when my family comes to visit from California.....The first thing out of their mouths when they arrived was "did you fix chalupa?"
This is great for a large gathering , the leftovers freeze well and it makes great burritos.
Chalupa
3 to 5 pounds pork roast (I buy the cheapest cut I can find it has the best flavor and it shreds better,cut off as much fat a possible) buy a larger roast if there is a lot of fat or if it has bones.
1 lb dry pinto beans (cleaned)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. ground oregano
2 small cans diced green chilies
1 Tbsp salt and pepper
Put all ingredients in a large pot and cover with water. Cook covered over low heat, adding water as needed as the beans will soak up the water. After 6 hours take out the bones and break up the roast. Cook on low with the lid off until thick stirring frequently so it doesn't stick and burn.
Serve over a bed of Fritos and all the following toppings:
grated cheese
chopped onions
lettuce
diced tomatoes
sour cream
salsa
guacamole
