Two chicken or pork tamales served with our traditional chile gravy sauce on top. Served with refried beans and Spanish rice.

In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Prepare the Masa

In a separate bowl, beat the lard or vegetable shortening until fluffy. Gradually add the masa mixture, alternating with the chicken or pork broth, and mix until smooth.

Add Lard

Lay a soaked corn husk flat, spread about 1/4 cup of the masa mixture on the husk, add a couple of tablespoons of shredded chicken or pork in the center, then fold the sides over and tie with a strip of corn husk.

Assemble Tamales

Place the tamales upright in a steamer pot, cover with a damp cloth, and steam for about 1-1.5 hours until the masa pulls away easily from the husk.

Steam Tamales

Remove stems and seeds from the dried red chiles. In a saucepan, combine chiles and water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.

Prepare the Chiles

In a blender, combine the cooked chiles, garlic, onion, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding a bit more water if necessary for consistency.

Blend Sauce

Pour the sauce back into the saucepan and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until thickened.

Cook Sauce

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant.

Cook the Beans

Add cooked pinto beans and salt to the skillet, mash with a fork or potato masher until desired consistency is reached. Cook for about 5-7 minutes.

Mash Beans

In a saucepan, heat a little oil. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.

Sauté Ingredients

Add rice to the saucepan and stir for 2 minutes. Then add chicken broth, tomato sauce, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil.
