Southwest Pork in Black Bean Sauce

SkinnyMinnie's Note:

This is a recipe I found in Southern Living and made it once....then lost the magazine in the PILES that I have. He has forced me to got through all of my magazines cuz he is throwing them all away. Well, now I have Zaar so I can safely keep all of the recipes we really enjoyed.....and I can't loose them in piles of stuff, LOL! Serve with flour tortillas and lime wedges. NOTE: This can be made a little less spicy if you substitute a can of regular diced tomatoes for 1 of the cans of tomatoes with chilies.

Wonderful and fast to make! Easy to adapt with on-hand ingredients. Next time I'll make it spicier but it was a unanimous "make again" recipe.

Outstanding. My toddler girls gobbled this up! I threw everything in the crockpot and pulled the pork out to shred, adding 1/3 cup water.
