Prepare the ingredients by cutting the meats into large chunks and the vegetables into manageable pieces.

In a large pot, layer the meats starting with pork, then beef, followed by chicken and chorizo.

Add the potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, and onions on top of the meats.

Sprinkle garlic, bay leaves, black pepper, and salt over the layers.

Pour enough water to cover the ingredients completely.

Drizzle olive oil over the top for added flavor.

Cover the pot tightly with a lid to trap steam.

Place the pot in a preheated oven or over a low flame to cook slowly for several hours, typically 6-8 hours.

Check occasionally to ensure there is enough liquid, adding more water if necessary.

Once the meats are tender and the vegetables are cooked through, remove from heat.

Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
