Ingredients
3-4 lbs boneless pork loin roast
1 lb dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
1 can / 4 oz diced green chilis
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 white onion, chopped
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp coarse kosher salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp sugar
2 bay leaves
4-5 cups water, more if needed
- Toppings
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes
shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper jack, etc.)
sliced green onion
avocado, diced (or Herdez Guacamole Salsa)
salsa
sour cream
cilantro
Directions
- Place pork roast into a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Sprinkle generously with Chef Merito Pork Seasoning.
- Drain and rinse the soaked pinto beans.
- Add to the pot with the roast.
- Add green chilis, garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin, kosher salt, oregano, and sugar.
- Add water until the beans are completely covered (4-5 cups).
- Stir to combine.
- Add two bay leaves.
- Bring the water to a boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 5 hours, checking occasionally to stir and make sure beans are submerged, add more water if needed.
- After 5 hours, removed the pork roast to a cutting board, when cool enough to handle, shred meat discarding any fat.
- Return the shredded pork into the pot and stir, mixing with beans.
- Keep heat at a simmer and cook uncovered for 1 additional hour until mixture is to your desired consistency.
- Add more salt or Chef Merito Pork Seasoning at the end if needed.
- For serving, serve over Fritos corn chips with your choice of toppings, enjoy!
Notes
- I like to add 1/4 cup of fresh chopped cilantro to the pork and bean mixture while it’s simmering for the last hour.
- You can use tortilla chips instead of Fritos if desired.
- This filling is great wrapped in flour tortillas. The leftovers make excellent burritos!
