Preparation and Cooking:
Heat 1/3 cup oil in a Dutch oven (or another thick-walled iron cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid) over medium-high heat.
Place pork in a large zip-top bag. Combine 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, plus pepper, cumin and cinnamon; sprinkle over pork. Add flour to pork mixture; seal bag. Shake to coat.
Add pork mixture to pan; saute 4 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove pork from pan.
