Tamales

Pork tamales are pretty easy to make, but there is a fair amount of labor involved.

Day 1

Cook the meat

3 lb Pork roast 48 oz chicken broth 2 tsp New Mexico Chile Powder 1 1/2 tsp cumin 1 1/2 tsp salt 2 cloves chopped garlic

cook in crock pot on Low for 12 hrs.

None of the ingredients or amounts listed are critical. The main point is to cook some meat until it is soft. The crock pot is an easy method that works. The result is a hunk of meat that falls apart easily and can be shredded by gentle prodding with a fork.

Day 2

Make the chili, masa, and finish the Tamales.
