Chalupa or Spanish Shredded Pork and Beans

"This is a recipe I found on a bag of dried Pink Beans. Makes 6-8 servings.    In this Spanish dish, called Chalupa, a savory pork roast bakes with beans until the meat  is so tender you can shred it with a fork. Because the dish bakes for such a long time the beans do not need prior soaking. Serve this chili-like mixture with desired condiments such as chopped tomatoes, avocado, onions, shredded cheese, taco or hot sauce. "
