Roast the chilies over an open flame until they are charred on all sides. Place in a plastic bag for 10 minutes to steam, then peel off the skin and remove seeds. Chop into small pieces.
Cut the pork tenderloin into bite-size pieces and cook in a cast iron skillet until browned on all sides.
In a blender, combine half of the chopped chilies with 4 cups of pork broth and blend until smooth.
Pour the chili-broth mixture over the cooked pork in the skillet and add in remaining chopped chilies, tomato sauce, and remaining pork broth. Stir to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, make a roux by combining lard and flour until it forms a paste.
Add the roux to the skillet and stir until well combined.
Slowly add water to the skillet while stirring, until desired consistency is reached.
Let simmer on low heat for 8 hours, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve hot with rice or potatoes.
