Instructions
Wipe chiles clean with a damp cloth. In a dry, heavy saucepan over medium heat, toast chiles until fragrant and puffy, turning occasionally to keep them from burning, 3 to 5 minutes.
Let cool slightly, then remove stems, seeds, and membranes.
Pour beer and tequila over chiles to soften.
Meanwhile, season pork with salt.
Heat oil in a heavy, large ovenproof pot such as a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown half the pork at a time, turning as needed, 8 to 10 minutes per batch.
Transfer browned pork to a bowl.
Add onion and garlic to pot; cook until soft, stirring often, 5 minutes. Stir in beer mixture, tomatoes, oregano, cumin, and pork.
Add water if needed to barely cover pork. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover.
Bake stew until pork is falling-apart tender, 3 hours. Skim fat. Ladle stew into bowls and serve with accompaniments.
