Traditional Chile Colorado Red Pork Tamales Rojos de Puerco

Today I will show you how to make delicious tamalitos rojos de puerco. I like making my picadillo red and juicy, this will make the tamales moist and full of flavor. Red pork tamales are ideal for any occasion but especially during the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas 😋 With the amount of masa that I used, I made about 40 tamales.

Gracias por la receta. Los tamales estaban deliciosos.

Your recipe helped me see what consistency the masa was supposed to be. Also to the commenter complaining about the salt, just sprinkle salt on them.

(Hope my Spanish is ok, I’ve only been learning for 6 months) 😂

Hi Kari, I would like to make the pork in the instant pot. How would I cook?

[amaliacoria]

So I made these today and noticed when we were taste testing them that they have no salt at all, guess you forgot to add it or what. Dang I don't know how I let that get me by, especially that the process is tideous and time consuming. Now I have 2 dozen saltless tamales for the Christmas dinner, thanks I like to be the laughing stock of the night.

In your video of the tamales de rajas con queso you mentioned its 1 cup broth per 1 cup masa. Here you use 6 cups masa 7 cups broth. Do the amounts of masa/water changed depending what the tamale filling will be?
Girrrl, getting the dang masa right is my problem 😳🤦‍♀️
