Pork Carnitas Tamales with Chipotle Crema Steps

Tamale Dough Steps

Pork Carnitas Tamales with Chipotle Crema

Submerge corn husks in hot water and soak 30 minutes. Chop onion and garlic. Cut pork into 1-inch cubes (wash hands).

Preheat large stockpot on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pot; add onions and garlic. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring often, until onions are tender. Reduce heat to low; add pork, salt, pepper, stock, cumin, red pepper, and allspice. Cover and simmer 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until pork is 190°F (for shreddable). Shred pork, return to pot, and mix well.

Meanwhile, combine crema Mexicana and pepper sauce until blended; chill until ready to serve.

Drain corn husks. Place ⅓ cup tamale dough in center of smooth side of corn husk (or nonstick side of foil). Spread evenly, leaving 1-inch border around edges.

Place ¼ cup pork mixture in center of tamale dough, then roll up like a burrito. (Use strips of corn husk or butcher's twine to tie tamales if desired.) Repeat with remaining tamale dough and pork mixture.

Place 3–4 inches water in steamer (or saucepan fitted with strainer or vegetable basket) and bring to a simmer. Arrange tamales seam-side down in steamer and cover tightly.

Steam 30–35 minutes (adding more water as needed) until tamales release easily from husks. Remove from steamer and let stand 5 minutes to cool. Remove cilantro leaves from stems (½ cup). Remove tamales from husks; top with chipotle crema and garnish with cilantro. Serve.
