Chalupas - crock pot recipe!

This is such an easy recipe and it feeds a lot of people!

What you will need:
1. 3 lb - pork tenderloin roast - I use 2 of the 1 1/2 pound roasts that are pre-packaged from my grocery store but if you can buy a fresh one that would be great too.
2. 1 lb bag of pinto beans - you will need to soak these overnight then rinse them in the morning. Don't forget to put the beans in the crock pot to cook all day!
3. 2 - 3 garlic cloves - chopped
4. 2 T. chili powder
5. 1 T. cumin - ground
6. 1 T. salt
7. 1 tsp. of oregano
8. 1 small can of chopped green chiles -I usually use 2 cans.

Put all the ingredients in a crock pot and fill with water (enough to cover all your food).

I usually put this on before I leave for work and it is ready by dinner. - let this cook on LOW for at least 6 hours. After 6 hours take out the bones (if your roast had bones) and shred your roast then return the shredded meat to the crock pot. Continue cooking with lid OFF for another half hour. This allows it to thicken a little.

Serve the chalupa meat over a bed of Frito's or in a tortilla. Add shredded cheese, chopped onions, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, salsa and sour cream.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we do! It is a staple in our house and it freezes GREAT so you can enjoy chalupas whenever you want!
