Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a slow cooker, combine the beer, 3 cups water, the chilies, adobo sauce, cumin, onion, beans, pork and 1 1/2 t salt.

Set the slow cooker to high and cook, covered, until the beans are tender and the pork pulls apart easily, 4 to 5 1/2 hours.

Using a fork, separate the pork into large pieces. Divide among individual bowls and top with the sour cream, salsa and cilantro.
