Puree the mixture in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir into the slow cooker. Add the remaining 4 cups of broth, chipotles, and sugar to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on either low (9-10 hours) or high (6-7 hours) until the meat is tender . Stir in beans during last hour of cooking. Before serving stir in cilantro and lime juice, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To make in advance, prepare to the slow cooking point but refrigerate browned bacon and meat separately from the liquids and the pureed tortillas. When ready to cook combine in slow cooker and proceed.
