Instructions

Position the oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Arrange the peppers on the prepared baking sheet with the cut sides facing down.
Broil under the preheated broiler until the pepper skins are blackened and blistered, usually 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the blackened peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam as they cool for about 20 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap, then carefully peel off and discard the pepper skins. Dice the peeled peppers.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and garlic in the hot oil until they become tender and fragrant, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Add the pork to the pot with the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the pork is nicely browned, around 5 to 10 minutes. Incorporate the diced green chiles into the pork mixture; continue to cook and stir until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Introduce the white hominy, yellow hominy, chicken broth, water, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the pork mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cook for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the flavors meld together and the pork becomes tender, at least 1 hour.
