There are thousands of tamale recipes—sweet, savory, spicy, with meat, chicken, etc. This recipe was given to me by my dear friend Carmina many years ago. While looking through my recipe book, I found it. So, I decided to make them. I've varied some ingredients to add my own touch.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place the meat in a pressure cooker with water to cover it, and cook for about 30 minutes after sealing.
- 2
In a bowl, combine the masa, salt, baking powder, and lard. Knead well and mix thoroughly.
- 3
Once the meat is cooked, remove and set aside.
- 4
In the cooking water, boil the chiles, garlic, onion, cumin, and cinnamon. Once the chiles burst, blend them. Strain the mixture and add the meat. Let it cook so everything is seasoned. Adjust the salt.
- 5
Drain the corn husks well and dry with paper towels.
- 6
Spread the masa on the husks, add a portion of meat on top, and wrap well. Use several husks to ensure they are well wrapped.
- 7
In a steamer, place the rack, add water, and a coin. The coin will rattle if the water runs out. If this happens, add hot water along the edge, never over the tamales.
- 8
Steam for approximately 50 minutes. After the cooking time, check if they are well cooked. If not, add more water and cook for a few more minutes.

Enjoy your meal.
