   • Begin by washing and sorting the beans to ensure they are clean and free from any debris.
   • Next, soak the beans overnight in water to soften them and reduce cooking time.

2. Drain and Rinse:

   • After soaking, drain the soaking liquid from the beans and give them a thorough rinse under cold water.

3. Prep Ingredients:

   • Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Set aside.
   • If using whole green chili peppers, dice them as well.

4. Cooking:

   • In a large pan or Dutch oven, combine the soaked beans, diced pork, minced garlic, diced onion, diced green chili peppers, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt.
   • Pour enough water into the pan to cover all the ingredients.

5. Simmer:

   • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
   • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
   • Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally.
   • Cook until the pork is tender and falls apart easily, and the beans are soft and creamy.

6. Serve:

   • Once cooked, ladle the chalupa into bowls and serve hot.
   • Garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
