  • For the tinga: Cut the tomatoes into quarters on an Alpine Cuisine® cutting board and set aside. Then cut the onion into quarters and set aside. Finally, cut the 2 onions into half-moons and set aside.
  • Blend the tomatoes, onion, chipotle peppers, garlic cloves, and chicken broth. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the onion until it is transparent and soft, then pour in the sauce, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes; then add the shredded chicken, bay leaves, and cook for another 20 minutes on low heat. Let cool and set aside.
  • Soak the tamale leaves in a container and add hot water, let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • For the tamale dough: Place the lard in a mixer and beat until creamy, then gradually add the tamale flour, alternating with chicken broth, baking powder, and salt. Continue beating until you have a smooth and homogenous mixture. Set aside.
  • Add a little dough on a tamale leaf and using your Alpine Cuisine® dough spreader, spread the dough over the tamale leaf, add a tablespoon of chicken tinga, and wrap the tamale.
  • Add water to the small Alpine Cuisine® steamer, place the rack, and arrange the tamales vertically without packing them too tightly. Cover and cook for 1 hour.
  • Serve on a wide plate and accompany with traditional coffee.
