Mexican style pork sandwich. Prepare the meat ahead and freeze some, then broil it until crispy for your sandwich.

Ingredients:

pork shoulder/butt roast, boneless

white onion, chopped

1/2

orange, quartered, with peel

4 cloves

garlic

3 tbsp

sweetened condensed milk

1 tbsp

dried oregano

bay leaves

2 tsp

salt

1 tsp

pepper

15 oz

seasoned canned black beans

8 oz

sour cream

1 bunch

cilantro

avocado, thinly sliced

soft sub rolls

Directions:

Cut the pork into approximately 1 inch cubes (a large bite size), removing any big pieces of fat.

Slow cooker method: Place pork, onion, orange, garlic, condensed milk, oregano, bay leaves, salt and pepper in slow cooker. Add 1/2 cup water and cook on low until tender, about 4-6 hours. Remove meat to a bowl and pour cooking liqiuds into a saucepan. Simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Mix reduced sauce with meat.

Stove-top method: Combine everything mentioned above in the slow cooker method in a dutch oven or soup pot, but use 1-2 cups water, or as much as you need until the meat is mostly covered in water. Bring to boil, then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 1:45 or until tender. Remove meat, increase heat and reduce liquid until it's about 1/2 cup. Retutn meat to the pan and mix with the reduced sauce.

When ready to serve transfer the meat to a foil lined sheet pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Broil until hot, browned and crispy in spots.

To assemble the sandwich: First dump the black beans and their liquid into the blender and puree. Mince the onion, and chop the cilantro.

Slice the rolls in half. Spread the bottom halves with some bean puree, top with some crispy, hot pork. Spread the top halves with sour cream, sprinkle with minced onion, cilantro and slices of avocado. Carefully fold the top halves over the pork and press gently. Serve at once.
