The pork mixture can be made a day in advance and refrigerated. Cooking time does not include cooking pork. You can also make this with ground beef. This is spicy, if you want to reduce the heat, then omit the jalapeño or Tabasco sauce. This is a really tasty dish, and the cornmeal topping just by itself is good baked in an 8x8-inch buttered baking dish, I baked mine for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees!

Steps:
- Begin by removing the chorizo from their casings. Set a medium saucepan over medium heat and coat with a little canola oil. Add the chorizo and use a spoon to break up the pieces into smaller chunks. Add the garlic and jalapeno. Allow the chorizo to cook and render for 4 to 5 minutes. When the oil is fragrant and red from the chorizo spices, add the cumin and black beans (including the liquid from one of the cans). Add 1/2 cup water, bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Add the lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the beans in a large bowl garnished with crumbled Cotija cheese and chopped cilantro.

Steps:
- 1. Put beans into a sauce pan along with the Pace Picante Sauce, heat through, about 2-3 min. on low heat. Low and slow as Mom used to say, so you don't scorch them. Enjoy with hot dogs or hamburgers. Add more Pace if you want it to have a little more of a bite to it.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: For this recipe, pork shoulder or pork butt is best. These cuts are tough but have a lot of flavor and become tender when cooked slowly.
- Brown the pork before slow cooking: Browning the pork before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and color.
- Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the pork will add flavor to the dish. A good option is chicken broth, beef broth, or a combination of the two. You can also use water, but it will not be as flavorful.
- Add aromatics and spices: To add more flavor to the pork, add some aromatics and spices to the slow cooker. Some good options include garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
- Cook the pork on low heat: Pork shoulder or pork butt should be cooked on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
- Serve the pork with your favorite sides: This pork can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, tortillas, or salad.
Conclusion:
This Mexican pork and beans recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is cooked in a flavorful sauce until it is fall-apart tender, and the beans add a creamy and hearty texture. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, tortillas, or salad.
