Instructions

For the beans:

  • Add chili powder and cumin and stir to combine.
  • Add beans and 14 cups of water, bring to boil then reduce to a simmer for 2 hours (leave pot lid on but slightly ajar so steam can escape from pot)

  • After 20 minutes, peel and seed peppers, then chop
  • Combine peeled chopped peppers with salsa verde, and onion
  • Just before serving, add chopped cilantro

For the crema

  • Combine sour cream and minced chipoltle in adobe and set aside

For the pork

  • Season pork cubes with salt and pepper
  • Heat oil in large skillet and place meat in a single layer (cook in batches) for about 3 minutes per side; then turn and continue to cook for another 3 minutes
  • After all meat has been cooked, add chicken broth to skillet with meat, cover and cook on low for about 30 to 40 minutes.

To serve
