  • Mix the flour, water, and lard well in a large bowl. Gradually add the broth. Stir in the sour cream; beat for 5 minutes or until the mixture is light and fluffy. Place half of the dough in a medium bowl; fold in the beans, chipotle chiles, and 1/2 cup of cheese. To the remaining dough, add the corn, poblano pepper, and the other 1/2 cup of cheese; mix everything well.
  • Place a corn husk on a flat surface. Put 1 tablespoon of the corn mixture on the husk 1 inch from one end; add 1 tablespoon of the bean mixture 1 inch from the other end. Fold the husk over the fillings and then tie the center with a thin strip of another corn husk before tying both ends. Repeat this with the remaining husks and filling.
  • Arrange half of the leftover husks at the bottom of a steamer or tamale pot; place the tamales on top of them. Cover them with the remaining husks to completely wrap them. Cover the tamale pot; steam the tamales for 50 minutes or until the fillings pull away from the husks, adding more water to the pot if necessary.
