    cumin pork roast with black beans

    I have a kid who doesn’t like beans. He’ll eat a few bites, but with hesitation! The other three kiddos have no issues with beans…in fact, last night the baby (toddler, really!) had beans and bean juice all over him. It was on his chin, his chest, his arms, his legs. He had a bib on, but he really needed a ‘body bib.’

    When we eat spaghetti, I generally remove all of his clothes, let him eat and then walk him straight up to the bathtub. (I know I’m not the only one who does this, am I?!) I’m thinking I need to start doing the same thing with him when we have bean based meals too.

    Back to these tacos…they sound kinda strange…but they totally work. As with many of my ‘off the wall’ recipes, this one was born out of ‘what I had on hand’…tortillas in the freezer, guac in the fridge, beans in the pantry and a pork roast in the freezer as well. Pull it all together and we’ve got a fabulous taco….that even my bean-adverse kid enjoyed. (He’s a huge gauc fan, so I’m thinking the guac overpowered the beans and he didn’t mind or notice the beans!)

    We enjoyed these tacos with corn cobs (because they are wicked cheap right now!)…any favorite veggie dish will do! 🙂

      Do you drain the cans of beans in this recipe?

      If I started this late and only had 6 hours to cook it should I do 2 hours on high followed by 4 hours on low?
