Ingredients for Pork Tamalitos Recipes
Method of preparation for Pork Tamalitos Recipes:
Take a large pot add oil and allow it to heat then brown the pork on both sides. Cover with water, add can of chipotles and bring to a simmer and allow the pork to cook for 4-6 hours or until fall-apart tender. Simultaneously prepare corn husks by soaking in warm water until soft, about 30 minutes. Tear some of the unusable husks into long strips for tying.
When pork is done, remove from cooking liquid and pull apart into chunks. Remove the husks from the tomatillos, dice into small chunks and saute briefly to soften. Add them to the shredded pork.
Place about 2 oz of dough in the center of each husk. Spread it into a 4×4 square on one of the long sides of the husk. Place a small chunk of pork with tomatillos and a drizzle of green chile sauce on one side of the square. Fold corn husk over to fold the square in half. Continue to wrap the husk around then fold the narrow end down over the open seam and then the broad end over. Use one of the long strips to tie around the tamale to hold it together. Steam for approximately 30 minutes or until masa is no longer mushy.
