So good and taste very authentic. Beware though - these do take quite some time to make so allow plenty of time to cook the beans and then to cook the bean/pork roast. My roast could have cooked about 1/2 hour more so that it would shred more easily.

These are great. I freeze them and heat for a quick supper.
