  1       lb           Pinto beans
  3       lb           Pork roast
  7       c            Water
    1/2   c            Onion, chopped

 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).

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