In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat and brown pork cubes all over in two batches, about 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Remove meat and add onions, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add broth and scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Return meat to pot and add remaining spice mix, chiles, cilantro stems, oregano, hominy, lime zest, and tequila (if desired). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until pork is just tender, 30 minutes or more. Add half of the cilantro leaves and cook 3 minutes more. Season stew to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
