Use a 1 pound bag of beans.
2

No need to soak the beans first!
3

Place everything into a crock-pot the day before you plan to eat.
4

Let it cook on high overnight.
5

Add more water if needed and stir occasionally to make sure the beans arent cooking to the bottom of the pot.
6

Slow cooking overnight is the key.
7

It really lets the flavors blend and penetrate the beans.
8

Neither the salt nor the vinegar stopped the beans from softening.
9

Al Pastor seasoning is available in Mexican supermarkets.
