Week 47 Challenge - Mexican Food

We eat several different meals that we consider to be mexican, although in reality they are probably a very loose interpretation of what Mexican food really is. The challenge for this week was to cook a mexican dish we had never made before.
While wandering around on the internet looking for ideas, I thought of Mexican Pork and Beans - something I have never had, but must have heard of somewhere. As it happens, there are literally thousands of recipes for Mexican Pork and Beans. I was wanting to make as authentic a dish as I could, which is made more difficult when you have never seen or tasted the dish before.

I came across this recipe for
Mexican Pork and Beans. The ingredients and spices looked to be a good balance from what I had read in numerous other recipes.
It also helped that there were no strange ingredients to source.

I made this on Friday night, for Craig and Sandra (and kids), and Paul and T. I cooked it in the afternoon, and we finally got to eat after Summer Soccer.
We had it with Rice, Tortillas and Salad.

This gets a 4.5/5 from me. Really tasty, with just the right amount of chilli in it to make it warm but not hot. Having beans in the dish meant that the 1kg of meat stretched to feed 6 adults and 6 children. I used a pork shoulder roast, deboned and diced. There could have been a bit more meat in the dish, but realistically we probably didn't need more - it was just tasty enough that we would have eaten it if it was there.

Yet another recipe to add to the repertoire.
