Pork:
Add all pork ingredients to a large slow cooker; stir; cook on Low for 8-10 hours or until pork shreds easily with a fork.
Cuban-Style Black Beans:
When pork is almost done, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add bell pepper and onion; season with salt and pepper; saute until vegetables are tender, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic; saute 1 minute; add oregano, black beans, chicken broth and vinegar; simmer until most of the broth has been absorbed and beans are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, as necessary.
Serve with your favorite guacamole, if desired.
Serve pork and beans alone, over cooked Cilantro-Lime Rice, in tacos, in corn tortillas, or on top of nachos.
