Pork Chalupas

"My kids love this stuff! I'm really not sure if 'Chalupa' is the right term for this, but it's what we've always called it. Feel free to add more or less spice and add any toppings your family may like. It's very easy and versatile."

  1. Boring pork roast? Never again! We loved this recipe. I had navy beans on hand, so we used them instead of pinto beans. Instead of using corn chips, we used fresh flour tortillas and made burritos. Yum!
     
  2. This was pretty good, though I ended up using two cans of pinto beans instead of the dry. Next time I will use the dried beans. This got "make again" comments from the family. It was close enough in taste to a dish my husbands late grandfather used to make. Thanks for posting!!
     
  3. Very tasty, looneytunesfan. Loved the fact that the beans could go in dried! Really great in homemade flour tortillas with a dollop of lime crema. Thnx for posting.
     
  4. Quite good. We halved the recipe, because it's only the two of us. We set the temp on the crockpot too low, though. After 8 hours cooking time, the beans were still hard. If your crockpot has more settings than low and high, you're going to want to set it for closer to medium than low. We're looking forward to rolling up the leftovers in tortillas for lunch.
     
  5. My family loved this recipe. I soaked the beans overnight and I substituted one whole chipotle chile in adobo for the green chilies. Next time I'll use both and maybe add a can of chopped tomatoes, reminded my family of white chili.
