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 (or overnight). Chop onion and garlic coarsely. 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 ½ hours, stirring occasionally, until pork is 190°F (for shreddable). Remove pork from pot and shred, then return to pot and mix well.

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

Drain corn husks, then arrange smooth-side up on work surface. Place ¼ cup tamale dough in center of each husk (or nonstick side of foil). Spread evenly, leaving 1/2-inch border.

Place about ¼ cup pork mixture in center of tamale dough. Fold in sides of corn husk over filling, then fold in 1 short end, leaving other short end open. Use strips of corn husk or butcher's twine to tie tamales closed if desired. Repeat with remaining tamale dough and pork mixture.

Place 4 inches water in steamer (or saucepan fitted with strainer or vegetable basket) and bring to a simmer. Arrange tamales open-end up in steamer and cover tightly.

Steam 1–1 ½ hours (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 (1/2 cup). Remove tamales from husks; top with chipotle crema and garnish with cilantro. Serve.
