Mexican pork stew (carne con papas)!

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the pork cubes and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper; cook for another 5 minutes.

Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using.

Return the browned pork to the pot and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
