Method

1

In una padella, scalda l'olio d'oliva e aggiungi il pollo macinato. Cuoci fino a doratura, circa 5-7 minuti.

2

Aggiungi l'aglio, la cipolla e il peperone, cuocendo fino a quando le verdure sono morbide, circa 5 minuti.

3

Incorpora i fagioli neri, il cumino, la paprika, il sale e il pepe. Mescola bene e lascia cuocere per altri 5 minuti.

4

In una ciotola separata, mescola la farina di mais con il brodo di pollo fino a ottenere un impasto omogeneo.

5

Combina l'impasto di farina di mais con il composto di pollo e fagioli, mescolando fino a ottenere una consistenza cremosa.

6

Prepara le foglie di mais mettendole in acqua calda per ammorbidirle. Formare dei pacchetti con l'impasto di pollo e fagioli, avvolgendoli nelle foglie di mais.

7

Posiziona i tamales in una vaporiera e cuocili a vapore per circa 40 minuti, fino a quando si sono rassodati. Lascia raffreddare prima di servire.
