10 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

# Instructions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add pork chunks and sear on all sides until golden brown.
02 - Add minced garlic, chopped onion, jalapeno chili, green chiles, yellow wax chile, and tomato to the browned pork. Stir thoroughly to mix.
