    Pork Tacos with Spicy Black Beans

    Ingredients

    1 1/2 cups dried black beans (10 1/2 ounces), soaked overnight in cold water and drained
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    4 garlic cloves, minced
    1 large jalapeño, seeded and minced
    1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    Salt and freshly ground pepper

    PORK

    3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
    1 head of garlic, cloves peeled and thinly sliced
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    1 habanero chile, seeded and minced
    1 large serrano chile, seeded and minced
    1 bay leaf
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    One 1-pound pork loin roast, trimmed of excess fat
    Warm corn tortillas and salsa, for serving

    Directions


    1.  PREPARE THE BEANS: In a large saucepan, cover the beans with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil.

    Simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

    2.  In a medium skillet, heat the vegetable oil.

    Add the onion, garlic and jalapeño and cook over moderate heat until

    softened, about 7 minutes.

    Add to the beans, along with the tomato, oregano and enough water to cover.

    Season with salt and pepper and simmer until the beans are tender, about 2 hours longer, replenishing the water if necessary.

    3.  MEANWHILE, COOK THE PORK: Preheat the oven to 300.

    In a small enameled cast-iron casserole, combine the broth

    with the garlic, onion, habanero and serrano chiles,

    bay leaf, cumin and » teaspoon each of salt and pepper and

    bring to a simmer.

    Season the pork loin with salt and pepper and add it to the casserole.

    Cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour, turning the pork once, until tender.

    Transfer the pork to a plate and cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle.

    4.  Remove the bay leaf. Shred the pork into strips and stir into the broth.

    Season with salt. Fill the tortillas with pork and serve with the black beans and salsa.
