Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapeño chiles using a knife, being careful not to break them. Cook in salted water for 10 minutes or until soft. Drain and cool. Fill the chiles with asadero cheese. Soak the tamale leaves in hot water until they are soft. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion, add the garlic, the tomato, season with salt and pepper, incorporate the epazote, and cook for 30 minutes or until the tomatoes break down completely. For the masa, beat the lard for 5 minutes, add the tamale flour alternating with water, add the salt and baking powder, and beat for 5 more minutes. Place a tablespoon of masa on a tamale leaf, add the tomato sauce, the stuffed chile, and a little more masa. Close it like a tamale and repeat with all the leaves. Cook the tamales in the steamer for 1 hour or until cooked. Let rest for 10 minutes and serve.
