"A simple slow cooker meal! Great for small gatherings because it makes a ton. Freezes well too for quick meals later."

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast
  • 1 pound dried pinto beans
  • 3 (4 ounce) cans diced green chile peppers
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 12 flour tortillas

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the roast inside a slow cooker coated with cooking spray. In a separate bowl, stir together the beans, 2 cans of the chile peppers, chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Pour the whole mixture over the roast, and add enough water so that the roast is mostly covered. Jiggle the roast a little to get some of the liquid underneath.
  2. Cover, and cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours. Check after about 5 hours to make sure the beans have not absorbed all of the liquid. Add more water if necessary 1 cup at a time. Use just enough to keep the beans from drying out.
  3. When the roast is fork-tender, remove it from the slow cooker, and place on a cutting board. Remove any bone and fat, then shred with forks. Return to the slow cooker, and stir in the remaining can of green chilies. Heat through, and serve with flour tortillas and your favorite toppings.

This has been in our family for years - glad it's been posted. I use this for a crowd and have the following on the side: diced tomatoes, sour cream, diced onion, guacamole, chopped olives, and lots of salsa. Then I have them serve it over fritos and add all the "stuff" on top. ALWAYS a hit.

This recipe is awesome! The only thing I did differently was use vegetable broth instead of water. I only had one can of chiles also, but it was enough for us. I served it on the tortillas as suggested with a side of green beans and spanish rice. YUMMY! It did make a ton and I froze the leftovers. I will make this again and again. Thanks for sharing!
