  1. Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Add shallot and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to soften, about a minute. Stir pork into skillet, breaking up with a spatula into small pieces, and continue cooking for a few minutes until lightly browned. Add beans, tomatoes (along with all their juices), salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and cayenne to skillet and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for five minutes.
