This recipe has come to me from my brother, who was a friend of the daughter of people who owned and operated "Conyos Taco House" in Florence, Colorado. As far as I was concerned throughout the 1980s into the early 21st century, this was the best Mexican restaurant in the State of Colorado! It was a small family-owned restaurant. Alas, people become elderly and retire. I moved away, but I miss having their food. This recipe is what was given to me as their family recipe.

- 1 large onion. Red spanish onion is preferred
- 6 Anaheim Peppers
- 2 large Poblamo Peppers
- 1 or 2 bell peppers - red, green, orange, or yellow
- 1 head garlic - this is the full head, of a dozen cloves or so.
- 2 tbs cooking oil
- 2 - 14 oz cans tomatoes - or equivalent fresh
- 1 - 28 oz can tomatillos (green tomatoes) - or equivalent fresh
- 1/2 - 1 Teaspoon oregano

Preparation
- Roast the pork roast the day before. It is recommended to roast it with a thick coating of black pepper, red pepper, garlic, and a little salt.
- Cut approximately 1 lb of the pork roast into cubes and refrigerate overnight. You may choose to include some of the drippings.
- Chop all vegetables. It is not necessary to remove all of the seeds from the peppers. Be sure to remove core from the tomatillos - even if commercially canned.

Cooking
- Put broth in large soup pot - 6-quart or more. A 10-quart soup pot works better.
- Add pork roast chunks
- Add in finely ground dry hot peppers - red peppers or ghost peppers.
- Bring to boil
- Put about 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet and turn to medium high. When oil is quite hot, add in fresh peppers, onions, and fresh garlic.
- Lightly stir-fry these onions, peppers, and garlic. When they start toasting, add them to boiling broth.
- Add tomatoes and tomatillos.
- Boil for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Mix 3/4 cup flour with 1 cup water, making a smoothe paste. Stir into chili, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.
