Pork Tamales

These tamales are filled with pork in a sauce made with dried red peppers. They are very similar to the tamales made in the northern states of Coahuila, Tamaulipas, and Nuevo Leon. A woman from Monclova in Coahuila, named Yolanda, gave me this recipe years ago. She prepared these tamales to sell to her neighbors every weekend, and I always think of her when making them.
