Ingredients - Serves 6

Let's Get Started

  1. In a large bowl, mix the masa harina with the chicken broth until a dough forms.
  2. In another bowl, mix the shredded pork with the chili powder, cumin, and minced garlic.
  3. Spread a spoonful of the masa dough onto a soaked corn husk, then top with a spoonful of the pork mixture.
  4. Fold the corn husk around the filling, then repeat with the remaining husks and filling.
  5. Steam the tamales for 2 hours, or until the masa is firm and the tamales are cooked through.
  6. While the tamales are steaming, make the chili sauce by sautéing the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeno in a pan until soft. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Blend the chili sauce until smooth, then serve with the tamales.
