For the sauce, blend the previously hydrated San Marcos® pasilla chiles along with the garlic, cumin, and enough salt until you obtain a paste-like mixture. Strain and set aside. For the beans, heat a skillet with lard until melted, add the San Marcos® bay refried beans, pour in the reserved pasilla sauce, reserving only a quarter, mix with a spoon, and cook for 6 minutes over medium heat. Cool slightly. For the tamale dough, in a large bowl, beat the lard with a hand mixer until fluffy, add the baking powder, salt, and gradually incorporate the tamale flour until mixed. Add the rest of the reserved pasilla sauce, the chicken broth, and mix; the dough should be slightly moist and reddish in color. Set aside. Moisten the tamale leaves with warm water for 8 minutes. Drain. Assemble the tamales, on a hydrated corn husk, place a tablespoon of tamale dough, add the refried beans in the center of the dough and close the corn husk. Cook in a steamer for 35 minutes. Serve hot with crumbled cojita cheese.
