Chalupa

This is a great recipe for large crowds.....I always make this when my family comes from California for a visit.

3 to 5 lb. pork roast (the cheaper the better)
1 lb dry pinto beans (cleaned)
2 pods garlic, minced
2 tblsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground oregano
2 small cans diced green chilies (these are mild)
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp pepper

Put all ingredients in a large pot and cover with water. Cook covered on a low heat. Add water as needed as beans will soak up the water. Cook for about 6 hours or until the roast falls off the bone. when done remove roast from the pot careful to remove all the bones. Chop up the meat and add back to the pot. Simmer with the lid off until thick (about 30 minutes) making sure to stir occasionally so it won't stick.

Serve over a bed of Fritos and add the following:
grated cheese
lettuce
onion
tomato
sour cream
salsa
guacamole.

Leftovers make great burritos.
