Method

Tamale

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a large pot, cook the pork shoulder with water and spices until tender, about 2 hours. Shred the pork once cooked.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and vegetable broth until a smooth dough forms.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tamales

    Soak corn husks in warm water. Take a husk, spread a layer of masa dough, place a tablespoon of shredded pork, and fold the husk. Steam tamales for 1 hour.

Chicken Verde Enchilada

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    Combine the cooked, shredded chicken with verde salsa in a bowl.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Fill each corn tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll them up, and place them in a baking dish. Top with remaining verde salsa and cheese.

  3. 6

    Bake

    Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Steak with Ranchera Sauce

  1. 7

    Cook the Steak

    Season the flank steak with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness. Remove and let rest.

  2. 8

    Prepare Onions

    Slice the onion and sauté in the same skillet until translucent.

  3. 9

    Serve with Ranchera Sauce

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve on a bed of sautéed onions. Pour ranchera sauce over the top.
