Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast

  • 1 pound dried pinto beans

  • 3 (4 ounce) cans diced green chile peppers, divided

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin

  • 2 tablespoons salt

  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano

  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder

  • 1 quart water, or as needed

  • 16 flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Spray the crock of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Place roast inside the prepared crock.

  2. Combine beans, 2 cans chile peppers, chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir to combine and pour over roast in the slow cooker. Add enough water to mostly cover roast. Jiggle roast a bit to get some liquid underneath.

  3. Cover and cook on Low for 5 hours. Open slow cooker; if beans have absorbed all the liquid, stir in more water, 1 cup at a time. Cover and cntinue to cook for 3 to 4 more hours, adding water as necessary, until roast is fork-tender. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

  4. Transfer roast to a cutting board. Remove and discard any bone and fat. Shred meat with two forks.

  5. Return shredded meat to the slow cooker with remaining chile peppers. Cook on Low until heated through, about 30 minutes.

  6. Serve with tortillas.
