This is the northern Mexican dish from which Tex-Mex chili sprang (and
one of the first recipes on the internet!)

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Chalupa or Chulupa
 Categories: Mexican, Beans, Pork, Chilies
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1 lb Pinto beans
      3 lb Pork roast
      7 c  Water
    1/2 c  Onion, chopped
      2    Garlic cloves,
           -minced
      1 tb Salt
      2 tb Chili powder
      1 tb Cumin
      1 ts Oregano
      4 oz can Green chili peppers,
           -chopped
 
  Put all ingredients in a dutch oven, an electric crockery cooker, or a
  heavy kettle. Cover and simmer about 5 hours, or until the roast falls
  apart and the beans are done. Uncover and cook about 1/2 hour, until
  the desired thickness is achieved.
  
  NOTES:
  
  *A Mexican meat and bean dish, similar to chili -- I got this recipe
  from "A Primer on Bean Cookery" by the California 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.
  
  *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).
