Steps:
- Pour the rinsed and drained beans in the bottom of a 6-qt. crock pot. Set aside. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the undrained Rotel tomatoes, chopped onion, and all the seasonings (including the bouillon granules). Pour mixture over the beans and give it a little stir. Lay the roast on top and season the surface with a little garlic salt, salt, and black pepper. Add enough water to cover beans and about half of the roast. (May need additional water during cooking.) Place the cover on the crock pot and cook on HIGH setting for 4 - 5 hours, or until roast falls apart and the beans are tender, adding more water as needed. Taste and adjust seasonings to your taste. Serve with plain tortilla chips or cornbread. Can be garnished with sour cream, salsa, etc., if desired. I served with a side of corn.
Tips:
- Sear the roast before braising: Searing the roast adds flavor and color to the meat. It also helps to keep the meat moist during the long cooking process.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in the pot roast add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, celery, and onions.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices add flavor to the pot roast. Common herbs and spices used in Mexican pot roast include cumin, chili powder, garlic, and oregano.
- Braise the roast low and slow: Braising is a cooking method that involves cooking the roast in a liquid over low heat for a long period of time. This helps to tenderize the meat and develop the flavors.
- Serve the pot roast with your favorite sides: Mexican pot roast is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Common sides include rice, beans, tortillas, and guacamole.
