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 tb Chili powder
1 tb Cumin
1 ts Oregano
4 oz can Green chili peppers,
-chopped

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).
