In a skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil and cook onion and tomato for 3 minutes or until their juices are released. Using a masher, mash vegetables. Add chile and cilantro and season with salt. Cook for 5 more minutes and set aside. For the tamal dough: In a bowl, mix vegetable shortening, salt, and baking powder until smooth and fluffy. Add masa mix for tamales and water little by little alternating. The texture must be thick but pliable. Set aside. Soak chards in hot water for some seconds until softened. For assembling the tamales: Place chard leaves slightly on top of each other. Spread a spoonful of tamal dough on the chard leaves and place some cheese strips. Wrap tamales. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up. Steam tamales for about 30 minutes. If deemed necessary, previously wrap chard tamales in aluminum foil. Once cooked through, let sit for 10 minutes until firm. Serve cheesy chard tamales with sauce.
