Soak chile peppers and pork in vinegar overnight.

The next day, remove the chiles and grind them to a paste with all the seasonings. Drain the meat thoroughly and place in a bowl. With a wooden spoon, blend the chile paste with the pork until very well mixed. Use in bulk form or make into patties.
