Chalupas

This is my sister in law Angela's recipe that Tracy's mom made a couple weeks ago. Its so good. And I love anything Mexican and crockpot.

2-3 lb pork roast (can use beef or chicken)
1 lb pinto beans
2 cloves garlic
1 can green chilis
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 TBS cumin

Wash beans and put on bottom of crockpot. Place meat on top and then add spices. Fill with water to top of meat and cook overnight on low. When meat is done, removed and shred, then put back in with bean on high until beans are tender.
Serve over corn chips with cheese, salse, sour cream, tomatoes, and avocados.
