For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the chile peppers before chopping. If fresh tomatoes are not available, a 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes can be used as a substitute. Serve with warm tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and your favorite toppings.

Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear meat on all sides; transfer to a plate and set aside. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions, celery, bell pepper, carrot, Anaheim peppers, jalapeños, poblano, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, to release flavors, about 5 minutes.
