Crock Pot Chalupa Recipes

CROCK POT CHALUPA

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight and drain.
• Add all ingredients to the slow cooker.
• Cook on high for 5 hours, or on low for 10 hours, or until meat falls apart and beans are done. Every slow cooker is different! You may need to add more water.
• If you have a bone from the roast, remove it, and "mash" beans, if you like.
• Uncover and cook for about a 30 minutes until desired thickness is reached.
• Serve with tortillas or tortilla chips with lots of toppings!
• IF you end up with too many leftovers, these can be made into burritos and frozen. Just add some cheese and salsa!

PORK CHALUPAS

Steps:

• Place the roast inside a slow cooker coated with cooking spray. In a separate bowl, stir together the beans, 2 cans of the chile peppers, chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic powder. Pour the whole mixture over the roast, and add enough water so that the roast is mostly covered. Jiggle the roast a little to get some of the liquid underneath.
• Cover, and cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours. Check after about 5 hours to make sure the beans have not absorbed all of the liquid. Add more water if necessary 1 cup at a time. Use just enough to keep the beans from drying out.
• When the roast is fork-tender, remove it from the slow cooker, and place on a cutting board. Remove any bone and fat, then shred with forks. Return to the slow cooker, and stir in the remaining can of green chilies. Heat through, and serve with flour tortillas and your favorite toppings.

• Shred pork and put on tortillas with cheddar cheese.
• Note: Tapioca is a strange ingredient but it really helps the thickness of this pork. You need to buy the Quick-Cooking tapioca that may come in a little red 8 oz box. You would find this by the jello mixes. I would guess that you could use cornstarch or flour instead of tapioca but I haven't done that before.
