These are especially good served as Navajo tacos with lots of chopped cilantro, jack cheese, and super hot salsa.

How To Make frijoles con puerco

Step 1

Look over the beans to ensure there's no little rocks, and then rinse them in a colander. Place the roast in the pot. Pour the beans into the pot and and add enough water to cover by about an inch.

Step 2

Chop the jalapenos to the size you prefer. Chop the garlic. Add the jalapenos, garlic, and seasonings to the pot. Add salt (about 1 teaspoon) and pepper to taste.
Step 3

Simmer on lowest heat all day, checking once in a while and adding more water and stir when needed. Once done, you can serve them as a side dish or as tacos. Top with chopped onion, cilantro, cheese and serve with hot tortillas or corn bread. Even better on day two.
