Mexican Spice Blend:

  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons no-salt-added chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions:

Cube the pork tenderloin into 2-inch chunks and rub the Mexican spices on it. Coat a stock pot with olive oil over high heat. Sear the pork cubes on all sides, remove to a plate, and set aside.

Add more olive oil and sauté the onion, peppers, jalapeno and garlic for about 5 minutes. Put the pork back in the pot and add the salsa, beer, apple cider vinegar, and black beans. Simmer on low, covered, for the afternoon (3 hours or so) or transfer to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. When the pork is tender, shred the pork with a fork.
