250 grams lard, for the masa
1 kilo corn masa, for the masa
1 tablespoon salt, for the masa
2 tablespoons baking soda, for the masa
enough chicken soup, for the masa

Preparation

In a comal over medium heat, roast the banana leaves until they are soft and flexible. Reserve. Cut into squares.

In a bowl, whisk the lard about 5 minutes or until it is completely softened. Add the dough little by little while continuing to beat until integrating. Add the salt, the baking powder and the broth, continue beating until it has a homogeneous consistency and a semi-thick dough.

Place a spoonful of dough on each banana leaf and spread, add mole, a bit of shredded chicken and wrap in a tamale form. Tie up with a banana leaf thread.

Place the tamales in a steamer with water and cook for 1 hour or until the dough is peeled off the leaf. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
