CHALUPA

     CHALUPA-1 - A Mexican meat and bean dish, similar to chili

     I got this recipe from A Primer on Bean Cookery by the Cali-
     fornia Dry Bean Advisory Board.  While not a true chili,
     chalupa is a Mexican-American favorite for a hearty lunch or
     supper.  It may be made ahead and reheated, and it freezes
     well.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 8)
     1 lb      pinto beans
     3 lb      pork roast
     7 cups    water
     1/2 cup   onion, chopped
     2 cloves  garlic, minced
     1 Tbsp    salt
     2 Tbsp    chili powder
     1 Tbsp    cumin
     1 tsp     oregano
     4 oz      chopped green chili peppers (one can).

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Put all ingredients in a dutch oven, an electric
               crockery cooker, or a heavy kettle.

          (2)  Cover and simmer about 5 hours, or until the roast
               falls apart and the beans are done.

          (3)  Uncover and cook about 1/2 hour, until the desired
               thickness is achieved.

NOTES
     Chili powder is a mixture of spices, consisting mainly of
     ground dried chili peppers.  This recipe may be served with
     corn chips and condiments (including chopped tomato, chopped
     avocado, chopped onion, shredded lettuce, grated cheddar
     cheese, and hot sauce).

RATING
     Difficulty: Easy.  Time: 5 minutes preparation, 5-6 hours
     cooking.  Precision: no need to measure.
