Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb dry pinto beans, soaked overnight and drained
3 lbs lean pork roast
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons chili powder

1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped
4 cups water

Steps:

  • Soak beans overnight and drain.
  • Add all ingredients to the slow cooker.
  • Cook on high for 5 hours, or on low for 10 hours, or until meat falls apart and beans are done. Every slow cooker is different! You may need to add more water.
  • If you have a bone from the roast, remove it, and "mash" beans, if you like.
  • Uncover and cook for about a 30 minutes until desired thickness is reached.
  • Serve with tortillas or tortilla chips with lots of toppings!
  • IF you end up with too many leftovers, these can be made into burritos and frozen. Just add some cheese and salsa!

Time 6h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb dry pinto beans, presoaked
2 lbs pork roast
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened tapioca
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
10 -12 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in crock pot. Cook covered, until beans are done and meat falls apart easily; about 5-6 hours on high.
  • Shred pork and put on tortillas with cheddar cheese.
  • Note: Tapioca is a strange ingredient but it really helps the thickness of this pork. You need to buy the Quick-Cooking tapioca that may come in a little red 8 oz box. You would find this by the jello mixes. I would guess that you could use cornstarch or flour instead of tapioca but I haven't done that before.

CROCK-POT CHALUPA

This is basically a Mexican pork and pinto bean stew. A favorite to serve during neighborhood bonfires where I lived in Mississippi. Even better served with a fistful of Freetos! I use a bone-in pork shoulder roast for this- cutting as much meat off the bone as is easy but always throwing the bone into the pot as well. If you use a leaner cut of pork it just doesn't come out right at all- neither the texture nor the flavor. Another keeper from my ex mother-in-law.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of toppings. The possibilities are endless, so get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, lettuce, and tomatoes.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Use a slow cooker liner. This will make cleanup a breeze. Simply remove the liner from the slow cooker and discard it after use.
  • Serve the chalupas immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot chalupas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give Crock-Pot chalupas a try.
