Amazing delicious white pork chili

I actually found the basis for this one in a spice ad, maybe Hormel. Despite that, there was not nearly enough pizzazz, so I added a bunch of spices. I think they only had cumin and paprika.

White Pork Chile 

1 lb pork, cut into 1 inch cube

1 onion, diced
1 poblano, diced
1 anaheim, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can chicken broth
1 can white beans
1-2 TB masa harina

Spices:
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chile de arbol (or other great pepper) powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp guajillo chile, chopped up into flakes
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp onion
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp thyme

Mix up spices, rub pork with spice mix, use enough to cover pretty well, add a tsp or so more into the chili, if there's any left.

Brown pork in 2 batches in a large, heavy skillet w/ 1 TB canola oil, set aside till later.

Add onions to skillet, cook 5 minutes or so, add garlic, add peppers and cook for about 2 more minutes, add seasonings, stir till heated. Add pork chunks, stir and add beans and broth. Bring to a boil. Simmer 15-20 minutes.
