Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Carne Adovada

    In a pot, heat some oil and sauté diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add pork shoulder, red chili powder, and chicken broth. Simmer for about 1.5 hours until the pork is tender.

  2. 2

    Make Tamales

    Mix tamale dough with water to achieve a spreadable consistency. Spread the dough on soaked corn husks, add a spoonful of filling (meat or cheese), and fold. Steam for 1 hour until cooked through.

  3. 3

    Assemble Tacos

    Warm corn tortillas on a skillet. Fill one tortilla with ground beef or shredded chicken, add cheese and any preferred toppings. Fold and serve.

  4. 4

    Prepare Enchiladas

    Soften tortillas in enchilada sauce, fill with ground meat, roll, and place in a baking dish. Top with more enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.
