1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds

Steps

Toast the ancho peppers, guajillo peppers, chipotle pepper, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, cinnamon, allspice, and cumin in a large dry skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Add the tomato, onion, garlic, and 1 cup water, then simmer in the skillet for 8 minutes.
Blend the skillet mixture until smooth, adding water as needed for a pourable sauce.
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, season the pork loin with salt and pepper, and brown it for 5 minutes.
Pour in the sauce, cover the Dutch oven, and simmer for 20 minutes, turning the pork once, until it reaches 145 F.
Rest the pork for 5 minutes, then slice it and spoon the sauce over it.
