In un'altra ciotola, prepara il ripieno mescolando il pollo sfilacciato con il pomodoro, la cipolla, l'aglio, il cumino e un filo d'olio d'oliva; aggiusta di sale e pepe.
Prepara le foglie di banana (o carta da forno) scaldandole brevemente su una griglia per renderle più flessibili.
Stendi un cucchiaio abbondante di impasto sulla foglia di banana, lasciando uno spazio libero ai bordi.
Aggiungi un cucchiaio di ripieno al centro dell'impasto e piega la foglia per chiudere il tamale, legando se necessario con spago da cucina.
Posiziona i tamales in una vaporiera, cuocendo a vapore per circa 1 ora e 30 minuti, fino a quando l'impasto si stacca facilmente dalla foglia.
