Preparation

Medium

In a bowl, beat lard until pale in color. Add half of the masa harina and keep mixing making sure to incorporate the lard from the sides. Add the tomatillo peel infusion, remaining masa harina, and pork broth little by little while mixing. Add baking powder and salt. Mix until completely incorporated. Using a spoon, spread a bit of tamal dough in each rehydrated corn husk. Place Poblano chile strips, corn kernels, and shredded Oaxaca cheese in the center. Fold each end of the corn husk to close the tamal and press the tamal dough slightly. Fold the end of the corn husk. Arrange tamales on a steamer and steam for 1.5 hours. Poblano, cheese, and corn tamales will be done when the dough comes off the corn husk.
