• Add the chili powder, cumin, flour, oregano, chipotle powder and cinnamon to the pan drippings and whisk to make a paste. Stir in the beer and 2 cups water. Return the meat to the Dutch oven along with the collected juices, the tomato-pepper mixture and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the beans bring back to a simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thick, about 1 1/2 hours more.
