Chalupas

This is one of those meals where you have to start in the morning and keep an eye on all day. It's so yummy, but definitly not made for a busy day.

Meat:

• 3 lbs. pork roast (trim off fat)


• 1 lb. pinto beans


• 2 cloves garlic


• 1 medium onion (chopped)


• 2 Tbsp. chili powder


• 1 Tbsp. cumin


• 1 Tbsp. oregano


• 4 oz. can chopped green chilis


• 1 Tbsp. salt

Toppings:

• chopped tomato


• shredded lettuce


• chopped green onion


• olives


• shredded cheddar cheese


• sour cream


• salsa


• tostada shells (the hard, flat, round ones)

1. Put everything in pot & cover with water. Bring to boil, then turn down & cook until beans are tender (keep covered with water). Remove meat and shred. Mash beans.


2. Return to pot. Bring to boil, turn down and let water cook down.


3. Place on tostada shells and add desired toppings!

This makes A LOT! This is the recipe my mom used to feed seven of us (three of them being boys with hearty appetites)!
