Place the pork rib with meat, the onion, and enough coarse salt in a pot with enough boiling water, cover, and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. Once the meat is cooked, remove and cut into small cubes. Set aside. Blend the ancho chiles, guajillo chiles, garlic, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, cumin, oregano, bay leaf, enough salt, and pepper until the ingredients are well combined. Set aside. Melt a tablespoon of lard in a saucepan or deep skillet and brown the cubed meat over medium heat for 3 minutes. Pour in the marinade, mix, and cook until boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside. Blend the pinto beans with the onion, garlic, and chicken broth until you obtain a smooth mixture. Melt lard in a saucepan, cook the ground beans and 2 to 3 tablespoons of the marinade with a little meat over medium-low heat, mix until colored and season with salt, cooking until the beans thicken. Serve the beans with poison, add a bit of meat with marinade, and garnish with cilantro and flour tortillas.
